It is a privilege for me to be able to work with people who are honoring the memory of their beloved animals.
As a lifelong animal lover, I am a frequent presenter at the Association of Pet Loss and Bereavement's conferences, and I developed and facilitated a monthly support group for the staff of a Maryland animal shelter. I have traveled nationally and co-facilitated workshops on compassion fatigue with Support Services for Animal Care Professionals. (SSACP). My published articles on pet loss have been featured in "Cary Magazine,” "Dog Living" and “Triangle East" magazines.
In addition, I co-developed and co-facilitated a pet loss support group for the clients of North Carolina State University Veterinary Hospital. Also, my programs on the human-animal bond were presented at the North Carolina Counseling Association conference, and at the American Counseling Association National Conference.
