I’m the director on the Boston and South-Africa based, nonprofit (501 c 3) Animal Talks,  an ordained nondenominational Pastor, ordained Animal Chaplain, and Credentialed Pet Loss and Grief Counselor/Credentialed Life Coach.

In these capacities, my work has focused on the animal-human bond and the grief when that bond has been severed by death. But because the death of a pet is a portal into many other losses, mostly unmourned, my work has expanded to include working with the bereaved in their other losses.

These losses most often include lost relationship trust, loss of a parent or sibling, loss of a beloved companion.

As a Crisis Counselor and Certified Grief Educator, I am currently accepting a few new clients for individual sessions. My work focuses on adults as they navigate bereavement, trauma, relationships, and coping with the ambiguity that surrounds our day-to-day life. I have an educational background in Clinical Psychology, so I understand how things like depression, anxiety, and other mental health diagnoses may influence your grief, relationships, and day-to-day life. The safety and privacy of my clients are my number one priority; I have worked with public figures in the past and maintain the highest degree of confidentiality. Due to the nature of my work, I accept a very small number of clients at a time to ensure I am able to provide ample support to those I am working with.

To the LGBTQIA+ community: This is a safe space for you.

A crisis is defined by Oxford Languages as: “a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger.” If you are not sure if you are in crisis, I am still here to help and hold space for you.

I am also able to do public speaking, consulting or group work, typically around Grief, Crisis, Suicide, Anxiety, and Trauma.

Sessions will be done via Zoom; in person sessions in/around Central Massachusetts will be considered if there are extenuating circumstances. Rates available upon request.

Outside of my work, I enjoy all things theatre, spending time with my sweet dog, reading, Breathwork, and spending time with my friends and chosen family. If you have any questions, are interested in pursuing 1:1 sessions, or want to see if we would be a good match, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via call (please leave a voicemail!), text or email.

If you are actively in Crisis, do not wait – please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 800-273-8255.

As a certified grief educator or witness, I hold space to support anyone in the pain of grief.   I listen deeply with warmth and empathy, witness grief, and provide — over time — hope for transformation and healing.

I am also a group moderator for David’s Tender Hearts program.

As a certified life coach, I have helped people at all ages clarify and articulate their life goals, and stay accountable to them with my partnership and support.

Overall I am experienced both in one to one and small group settings.
