Traveling Veterinary Social Work

---

 "Christina was an invaluable resource for my clients. She helped hold their hands while making difficult decisions regarding assessing quality of life, considering euthanasia and helping with grief after loss. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a support to help with the stresses that come along managing illness and loss in our pets." 

-Rachel, Veterinarian

"Christina provided additional support to our trainees that greatly enhanced our program. She also helped us navigate mentorship challenges in a thoughtful supportive way. Our trainees always look forward to meeting with Christina and she really helped to set a tone of openness and safety for the program."

-Annie,  Criticalist, & ER Training Program Director

"Christina was there for me during a time I needed her most. I was at my lowest point and surrounded by a toxic work environment. She made me feel validated that what I was experiencing was not okay. She provided options for me to try to work through my situation. When we realized that things weren’t getting better she supported my transition to another practice. She was one of the only people that truly thought about me and my well-being. She helped me gain the strength I needed to walk away."

-Paula, Veterinarian

"Christina and I worked together at a veterinary hospital.  She was a valuable member of the hospital team.  I would refer clients to Christina when they were having a difficult time dealing with the emotional stress of the loss of a pet, or struggling with having a beloved pet sick in the hospital.  I also went to Christina personally after losing my mother to early onset Alzheimer’s disease.  She is compassionate, a great listener, and amazing at helping people finding ways of coping with complex emotions."

-Anonymous, Veterinarian

"Christina was pivotal in helping me reintegrate into the workforce [after maternity leave]. We met weekly, where she allowed me to unload my heavy emotions. Her office was a safe space, where my feelings were always validated. Christina also helped me keep perspective, encouraged me to advocate for myself, and ultimately helped me grow in my career! I will forever be grateful to her for holding space for me during a very difficult time in my life. I don't think I would be where I am today if it weren't for her help."
