If your dog is struggling to thrive, you've come to the right place. 

Family Dog Mental Health Support

If you are a dog guardian struggling to find support and guidance for your dog's behaviour and mental health, you've come to the right place. With over 23 years of experience working with complex canine mental health cases, I offer specialized mediation and counselling for families navigating the challenges related to canine dysregulation.

Family Counselling & Mediation

I know how much you love your dog, but it can be very stressful when they are struggling with emotional dysregulation and behaviour problems. If your family needs specialized counselling for mild to severe canine mental health and behaviour issues, you need an expert to guide you through the healing process. 

I developed the Canine-Centred Therapy approach to provide insight into the complete picture of the dog through the six layers that make them who they are. Through family counselling sessions we explore your dog's Constitution, Ancestry, Need fulfillment, Individuality, Nurturing and Experiences (C.A.N.I.N.E) to discover who they are at their core and help them tap into their innate wisdom. 

This approach recognizes that dogs come into this world fully equipped to navigate life, and our role as caregivers and guardians must be to nurture their development and celebrate their autonomy, not to demand obedience from them. Let's work together to deepen your bond with your dog and improve your whole family's quality of life.
