Hartford & New Haven Areas

I am a native of Long Island and I have lived and practiced in Connecticut since my graduation from Tufts Veterinary School. I have put my heart and soul into my veterinary “family practice” for many years, and I have found that the incredible bond between pets and their people is the most meaningful aspect of my job as a general practitioner. Supporting pets and their families from their very first vet visit all the way through to their end of life has been a great privilege. The trust and bond between pets and their owners is a magical aspect of healing. I am very sensitive to the stress many pets (and pet parents) have coming to the vet’s office with new faces, smells and other animals, and sometimes unavoidable unpleasant experiences. Creating a low stress, positive, reassuring experience for my patients and their people has always been a high priority for me in practice. 

It has been an honor for me on many occasions over the years to be present in the homes of families to facilitate a peaceful, dignified passing for their pets. With today’s advanced standards of care in veterinary medicine there is often a contrast between what we can do and what we should do for our patients. I joined Lap of Love to help provide a caring, compassionate option for pets and their families. 

I live on a small farm with horses, a donkey, a dog, a cat, various chickens and my husband who loves all of the animals as much as I do. In my spare time, I love to garden and grow food, ride on local trails, travel and play music in a community orchestra and fiddle club. I have 2 adult children, one of whom also went to Tufts Veterinary school and is an equine practitioner.
