1:1 Individual Therapy

  • Working in animal welfare and veterinary settings often means confronting trauma, ethical complexity, and deep compassion on a daily basis. Individual therapy offers a confidential, clinically grounded space to process the cumulative toll of this work, whether you're a veterinarian, technician, shelter staff member, student, volunteer, or client navigating loss moral stress, or other personal and work related concerns.

    With expertise in the human-animal bond, I understand the culture, language, and pressures of the field. Therapy is designed to support you in:

    • Managing compassion fatigue and burnout

    • Processing grief, moral distress, and vicarious trauma

    • Exploring identity, values, and emotional endurance

    • Setting and maintaining professional and personal boundaries

    • Navigating career transitions and role-based stress

    • Reconnecting with meaning and purpose in your work

    Sessions are trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and grounded in social justice and systems awareness. Whether you're struggling or seeking space to grow, therapy can help you build insight, develop sustainable coping tools, and feel less alone in this work.

  • All individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes

  • $150 per session *

    All sessions are private/self Pay.
