Veterinary Consultations & Mentorship

Thoughtful, long-form support for those who care deeply for animals.

Overview

Whether you're an animal guardian navigating a difficult decision, a veterinary professional facing burnout or grief, or a student looking for grounded mentorship — I offer in-depth, 60-minute sessions that hold space for the emotional, ethical, and clinical dimensions of animal care.

These are not quick fixes. They are conversations rooted in presence, medical insight, and a deep respect for the human–animal bond.
