Who Am I?
Hey, I'm AJ! I graduated from Berry College with a bachelor's in animal science, and I have several years of hands-on experience across shelter, clinical, and home settings. I have dedicated my life to learning how animals process their world and helping people understand their pets on a deeper level. Some of my most meaningful relationships have been with animals. They have taught me grayscale thinking, how context plays a role in interpreting behavior, and how a truth for one may not be a truth for all. I want more people to experience this for themselves with the animals in their lives.

How Can I Help?
I offer 100% virtual behavior consultations for dog and cat guardians who want to understand what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what actually makes sense to do. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, my work centers on interpreting behavior within its unique context and helping you make thoughtful, realistic decisions that are specific to your animal and your life.
I can help get to the bottom of your dog's reactivity and/or anxiety so we can help them get back to living life to the fullest.
I can help figure out what's driving your cat's "destructive" tendencies and find ways to redirect them in a healthier way.
I can help you learn more about your pet's quirks so you can better communicate and live alongside each other.
Bonus: Free Pre-Adoption Counseling!
Bringing an animal into your life is a big decision, and it’s worth slowing down to think it through. I offer a low-pressure space to talk honestly about fit, capacity, expectations, and concerns before committing. Together, we can explore lifestyle realities, common behavior challenges, transition strategies, and more. This 30-minute call is offered at no cost so that you can make thoughtful decisions upfront, which will reduce stress for both you and your future new addition.
