Hi! I’m Jamie and I have worked in counseling for 17 years. I began working as a drug and alcohol counselor in 2005 after graduating with a B.A. in psychology from the University of Sioux Falls. I then received a M.S. in counseling and human resource development from South Dakota State University.

 

Having worked in social work, psychiatric residential treatment facilities, and outpatient mental health, I began pursuing her passion of animal assisted therapy. I attended training with the International Institute of Animal Assisted Play Therapy® in Alaska and Pennsylvania and learned how to incorporate dogs, cats, goats, horses and guinea pigs into therapy practice. Peaceful Paws Therapy’s pet therapy team works with children and adults struggling with adjusting to the changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, family changes, grief and loss, as well as treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and other mental health challenges.

 

In 2019, I founded Peaceful Paws Therapy and we opened our doors to clients in Northern Colorado.  

How Does it Work?

Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating. When you’re ready, let’s get started by learning more about each other.
