Research Summary

My primary research interest revolves around the fascinating field of Canine-Assisted Psychotherapy (CAP) within clinical therapy settings. I am deeply intrigued by the profound bond between humans and canines and the potential therapeutic benefits it offers. Exploring the transformative power of CAP, I am dedicated to unraveling its complexities and understanding its effectiveness in aiding psychological healing and well-being.

Currently, I am engrossed in a qualitative research project focusing on the attitudes of clinicians towards Canine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Through in-depth interviews and meticulous analysis, I aim to shed light on the perceptions, challenges, and opportunities surrounding the integration of dogs into therapeutic practices. By gaining insights into clinicians' perspectives, I aspire to contribute valuable knowledge that will enhance the utilization of CAP in clinical settings, advocating for the recognition of dogs' invaluable role in supporting individuals' mental health journeys.
