Pet Loss Grief Counseling Resource Center - Nationwide
As a Certified Pet Loss Grief Specialist with over two decades of experience, I provide compassionate support to pet parents navigating the difficult journey of losing a beloved animal companion. My background includes 21 years as a grief counselor with a hospice and an additional five years specializing in pet loss at the Pet Loss Resource Center in Madison, WI. Holding certifications from the American Academy of Grief Counseling and the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care (IAAHPC), I am well-equipped to guide you through this challenging time.
I deeply empathize with the profound grief that pet parents endure, having experienced it myself. The loss of a pet can mirror the intensity of losing a child, a reality often misunderstood by the general public. My mission is to provide a safe space where you can express your emotions and find solace. Whether you're dealing with the loss of a dog, cat, bird, horse, or any other cherished pet, I offer personalized counseling and coping strategies tailored to your unique situation. Additionally, I facilitate three support groups monthly, providing a community of understanding and shared experiences.
If you're seeking guidance and support during this difficult time, I am here to help. My services include both individual counseling and group sessions, ensuring you have access to the resources you need. To begin your healing journey with a dedicated professional by your side, book me through Petworks today.
