About Me
I am a pediatric occupational therapist dedicated to helping children achieve meaningful goals through engaging, child-centered therapy. My approach emphasizes building strong therapeutic relationships, fostering confidence, and creating opportunities for success through play and individualized interventions. I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent children, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and partnering with families through education, collaboration, and evidence-based care to promote participation and independence in everyday activities.
