Hi Reader

​Psychology Today says that about Overcoming Your Child's Fear of Dogs: A Step-by-Step Guide for Parents, which I co-wrote with my big sis, Stefani Malkin Cohen.​

I'm incredibly proud our book is being recognized so more people can overcome their fear of dogs.

Cynophobia, which is the fear of dogs, affects up to 20% of all people, including children, and can be overwhelming and debilitating.

The seeds for this groundbreaking book were planted decades ago when my dog, KC, and I helped my niece, then 5, overcome her fear of dogs.

Over the years, I helped Stefani, a psychotherapist and parenting counselor, devise her proven 10-step exposure therapy protocol.

I wrote the chapters on learning how to "read" dogs and helping people see the dog's viewpoint, which is essential because we are afraid of things we don't understand.

As a Humane Educator and Animal Communicator, along with an MA in Counseling with over 30 years of experience, I have a unique understanding of pet anxiety and fear, especially from the animal's perspective.

Feeling fearful or anxious is about feeling out of control.

And it's an awful helpless feeling no matter what species you are.

Watching your fearful pet suffer can be overwhelming and anxiety-producing, especially if you're not sure how to stop it or if what you are trying is actually working.

I love helping animals and their people during their Animal Communication Session.

The 1st step in healing their anxiety is to give your animal a "voice" so they can talk about their feelings and share their insight and guidance on what they need to heal.

During your session, I will also help you develop a plan of action that includes your animal's input and insight so they can feel in control of their life.

You're not alone.

I'm here to support you and your animal family so you can both thrive.
