They are more than just a pet. They are family!

Supporting an animal during their last days can be overwhelming, challenging and flooded with emotions. You feel like you're not doing enough, making the right decisions and have to feel the pain of losing them in the end. If you're seeking guidance and support during this difficult time, I am here to help.

About

Let me help you through your grief journey.

Not every counselor understands the bond between human and pet. I have the unique position of experiencing a pet like a family member. I have been a pet owner for all my life and know what it's like to lose one unexpectedly, having to make the hard decision for your animal whether it medical or behavioral. Cricket's Crossing is self-pay with affordable rates. I am licensed in South Dakota and Iowa. As a clinical social worker, I am willing to walk with you through your grief journey.
