Resident Snuggler & Certified Comfort Companion
Freya is our beloved therapy dog-in-training and the true heart of the office. When she’s not providing emotional support to clients and staff alike, you can find her curled up in her favorite nap spot—usually in the sunniest corner of the room or right in someone’s lap.
A lover of mountains, hikes, and cozy cuddles, Freya is a world-class napper with a strong (and often persuasive) belief that she should be carried everywhere. Her favorite treats include yak sticks and—let’s be honest—whatever you're eating.
Freya is proudly registered with the American Kennel Association (AKA) as a therapy dog and takes her role of comfort provider very seriously…except when she’s caught napping on the job. Whether you need a warm nudge, a calming presence, or just a little "tail" wag to brighten your day, Freya is always happy to help.
