About me

founder of Blissful Cat Behavior Consulting. I’m a certified cat behavior consultant through the IAABC, a certified training partner with the Karen Pryor academy, and a Fear Free certified trainer. My training and behavior modification techniques focus on setting up cats and their caregivers for success.

 

I'm based in Owings Mills, Maryland and I service local areas including some Baltimore suburbs. However, most cat behavior work can be done virtually and I'm happy to help you wherever you are!

 

I adhere strictly to science-based positive reinforcement training techniques using the least inhibitive, functionally effective (LIFE) model. I do more than “fix behavior problems” – I’m here to help you establish connection with your cat and live blissfully alongside them.

​

I’ve been working with cats and their caregivers for nearly 10 years, and I’ve been an animal advocate for my entire life. I started my work at a local veterinary clinic, shortly after I graduated high school. What started as a part time job walking and feeding dogs, soon became a lifelong journey toward caring for all animals in need. I worked in general practice veterinary medicine for 5 years before focusing my efforts in animal behavior. I worked under a board certified veterinary behaviorist for 4 years before starting my own company to help cats and their caregivers. 

​

In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my own cats, Daoloth and Walden, watching movies, cooking vegan food, listening to shoegaze music, and going to local shows. I’m queer, neurodivergent, and I’m always excited and honored to work with people from any life experience.
