I work with people to understand themselves more deeply,
often through the relationship with their dog as a mirror for
what’s happening inside.
Together we explore what’s reflected and how it shows up in your life.
Dogs respond to presence, not performance.
In relationship with your dog, patterns around boundaries,
trust, connection and regulation tend to show up naturally.
By noticing these patterns with curiosity, we gain insight into
how you relate to yourself and others. What we notice here
is often the starting point for change.
I work with people who feel a quiet, or not-so-quiet, pull to live more authentically.
Those who feel ready to stop performing, people pleasing or playing small and to begin
relating to themselves and their lives more honestly.
Some are drawn to exploring this process through their relationship with their dog.
Others prefer a more direct, one-on-one coaching approach. Both are welcome here.
We observe what’s happening in relationship (with yourself or with your dog)
We reflect on your internal experience
We explore where these patterns show up in your life

The same work, accessed through different mirrors
My journey into this work began with my soul dog Olivia
She came into my life during a period of deep transition that activated old wounds around belonging and worthiness that shook me to my core. While I longed for closeness and shared presence, I carried a deep fear of abandonment. I didn’t feel safe in my body and looked outside of myself for validation.
What I thought were “dog issues” became invitations into deeper self awareness and authenticity.
Through Olivia’s steady presence, I learned to slow down, stay with myself and trust that I was safe in my body. For the first time, I experienced what it felt like to be loved without conditions or performance.
While Olivia is no longer with me physically, this work was born from our relationship. It is the foundation for how I now support others in coming home to themselves…just as she brought me home to myself.
