You don’t have to explain why this hurts so much.

Your pets are your family, your loved ones, your supports.
If you’ve lost a pet or you’re preparing to say goodbye, the grief can be overwhelming.

If you are feeling…

  • Like your whole world has been turned upside down.
  • Crushed by grief and unsure how to move forward.
  • Guilt—about what happened and about wanting to feel better.
  • Lost, as if you’ve lost your purpose without your pet.

You are not alone. Your grief is real, and it’s valid.

I’ve supported countless clients—both those anticipating the heartbreaking loss of a beloved pet and those already grieving. Whether you’re preparing to say goodbye or navigating the deep pain that follows, my goal is to help you find meaning in the experience, not just endure it.


Grief isn’t something to simply get through. It can be integrated, honored, and transformed into growth.
