About

Biography

I am passionate about providing patient-centered care that focuses on each child’s unique developmental, sensory, neuromotor, and functional needs. My practice includes supporting fine and gross motor skills, feeding, sensory processing, self-care skills and emotional regulation. I am driven to help children increase their participation and performance in meaningful activities of daily living—especially play. I strive to create sessions filled with laughter, silliness, and happiness, because I believe joy is essential to a child’s growth and engagement.

My approach centers on building strong relationships with children and families, and creating individualized, strength-based treatment plans. Every child learns and grows in their own way, and I work to make therapy engaging, collaborative, and empowering. By partnering closely with families and caregivers, I aim to help children develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in everyday life.

I was drawn to working with children because of their resilience, creativity and enthusiasm for learning and for life. It is incredibly rewarding to support children as they overcome challenges, celebrate achievements and discover their own capabilities. I value the opportunity to make a positive impact on my patients and their families, increasing meaning and value in their lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active, going on walks in local parks, traveling, and trying new restaurants. I also love reading and finding new ways to bring creativity and fun into everyday life.
