About Angie

Coaching

Individual support to address present-day challenges in context of past experiences with a focus on self-awareness and self-regulation to improve wellbeing. Coaching is available to all veterinary and shelter medicine professionals.





Training

Psychoeducational training is available on issues related to burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue/empathic strain. Each session can be tailored to your team’s needs and will include concrete tools and skills to address dimensions of wellbeing.



Integrated Support

Integrating a part-time Veterinary Social Worker directly into your hospital or shelter is a practical way to incorporate wellbeing support in a cost-effective way. Veterinary professionals benefit from the experience of a qualified Veterinary Social Worker in a way that matches their organizational size, scope and wellness needs.

“We had Angie design a talk for us about de-escalation with clients experiencing mental health issues. The presentation she designed for us was prefect. The staff enjoyed the interactive nature of her presentation. They were free to ask questions and interact throughout the duration of the session. She was inviting and engaged the staff thoroughly. The positive feedback from staff who attended was overwhelming so we are having her back to present to the staff who couldn’t attend. I am looking forward to collaborating with Angie on a compassion fatigue program for the staff.”

“Angie delivered a fantastic de-escalation seminar to our front-line staff. As a 24/7 emergency and referral clinic, supporting clients in distress is an invaluable skill-set to have. I appreciated how Angie offered a practical component to her seminar which allowed staff to work through real case examples–her expert knowledge and ability to engage the room allowed staff to comfortably share their thoughts and ask questions. This seminar is an excellent opportunity for veterinary practices to learn more about the human component of veterinary medicine, and the tools that support it.”
