Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I have always been in awe of the profound bond we share with our pets and the incredible impact that animals have on our lives. It really is impossible to capture in words the many ways they enhance our journeys!

I became a veterinarian because of a love for animals and their humans, a passion for medicine, and a desire to make lives better through veterinary medicine. I received my undergraduate degree from Colorado State University. Shortly after, my husband and I moved to Indiana so we both could attend Purdue University, where I earned my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. After over a decade in Indiana it is so good to be home to our Colorado roots! Outside of work, you will find me spending time with family and friends, drinking coffee, gardening, baking, or simply enjoying being outside! 

Stewardship of our furry friends means a lot of different things depending on the season of life in which we find ourselves. One significant aspect is advocating for their freedom from sickness, pain, fear, struggle, and often giving the gift of a peaceful death. I believe there is something sacred in that final goodbye- the last pets, the last "thank you", the last breath, the last heartbeat. Nothing else matters but to be present in that moment. I've experienced this personally and find deep fulfillment and meaning in helping honor these best friends through a dignified, loving goodbye that is in the comfort of home. While it is an end, the ripples of years together, shared joys, memories and lessons learned from our companions continue to live on with us. Because of them, our lives can be changed for the better. 

It is such a privilege to come alongside families in these defining moments.
