I have been working in mental health care for over 9 year, including volunteering as a police based victim service worker and earning a Diploma of Professional Counselling. Along with my ongoing continuous education, I also dove into the intriguing world of Dog Emotion and Cognition –because let’s be real, dogs are basically furry therapists in disguise.

​

My past came knocking on my door when I lost one of my last members of my non-judgmental furry cheerleading squad; always radiating strength, unconditional love and solid loyalty. It hit me with a gut-wrenching blow.

 

It left me with pain, feeling alone, and at times, completely helpless. 

 

I made a vow to keep their legacy alive, and in doing so, I discovered a way of reconnecting with my own self, finding solace within, and embracing the unexpected twist of this beautifully “abnormal” world we live in.

 

Your journey through grief, trauma, being emotionally bullied or other changes in life may feel you disconnected from today’s demanding society.

 

I have gained an appreciation for the therapeutic qualities that our canine companions possess. When suitable, I combine these qualities, an integration of psychotherapy and somatic attachment therapy to support my clients in reconnecting and reclaiming their true authentic self.
