  • ADHD can feel like constant distraction, frustration, or falling behind. But it can also come with creativity, passion, and drive. I help children, teens, and adults learn how to manage ADHD challenges while embracing strengths.

  • At Therapy With A Dog, I provide trauma-informed, evidence-based care to help you process the past while regaining stability in the present.
