“I have experience supporting children and adults in both telehealth and in-person settings. Areas of interest include sensory processing, emotional regulation/co-regulation, sensory-based feeding difficulties, executive functioning, and interoceptive awareness. I am passionate about partnering with caregivers to empower them to learn the tools needed for their children to succeed. I strive to be neurodiversity affirming, setting goals based on the child’s strengths and interests. My sessions aim to be child-directed and play-based, supporting therapeutic goals.

Solving problems collaboratively and supporting function through play are just a few of the reasons why being a pediatric occupational therapist is the best!”
