She will always hold a special place in her heart for the families she cared for, however, this was where she discovered her true passion of taking care of newborns and the desire to care for the pediatric population as an advanced practice provider.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Animals can provide non-judgmental comfort and security. This social support can help children in their interactions with people as well. The calming effect of animals has been shown to be particularly valuable for children with developmental or psychiatric challenges. Therapy sessions that include dogs have been shown to increase attention, sharing and cooperation and reduce behavior problems in children with ADHD. For children with autism, animals in the classroom can reduce anxiety and improve social interaction. Dogs can also facilitate recovery in hospitalized children.
Depression
