“There’s an assumption that these working dogs are automatically being taken care of after they leave service but that’s not the case. A lot of them are stuck in kennels — not just in the U.S., but overseas. We really need to get them back. We want to honor these dogs that have given their lives for us. We want to make sure they come back and get the retirement they deserve.” – Mission K9 Rescue

About Prairie: I believe that you are ultimately the expert on you. Let me act as a motivational guide through your struggles and together we can reach your goals. I believe in holistic treatment plans that involve working in several areas of your life to approach the issue comprehensively and thoroughly. I have both professional and personal experience in working with military service members and their families. I have extensive knowledge in animal-assisted therapy and believe strongly in emotional support animals as well as other forms of alternative treatments to include yoga, meditation, essential oils and homeopathic medicine, exercise, and mindfulness training. The best part, we provide all services online so no driving to sessions or taking time away from work of family! We can do this when you want and where you want!
My Story
I’m a mother, a wife, and a working professional. I know first hand what struggling to be a success in all those areas looks like. I’ve discovered that the only thing that is constant is change and we must continue with the times in order to find our way. Let me walk beside you in your journey. I am a clinically trained therapist offering distance counseling in the states of North Carolina, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. Together we can work to address and resolve problems that impair ability to function well, such as anxiety and depression, as well as helping people achieve their goals by creating motivation for change and developing and implementing a plan.
