About Ariel
Ariel is a developmental expert with over 13 years of experience across a diverse array of settings. Throughout her career, she has worked with clients of all ages in schools, outpatient pediatrics, outpatient hands, the Army, mental health facilities, telehealth, and geriatric rehab settings. She earned her Doctorate of Science in Occupational Therapy through Baylor University and the U.S. Army, gaining invaluable insights into a wide range of techniques, approaches, and interactions.
Her journey has led her to a deep passion for working with children, where she strives to support and enhance their performance in areas such as sensory processing, visual and motor development, play, social skills, and daily functioning. She firmly believes in the crucial role of childhood play in learning and skill development, particularly when it involves outdoor exploration.
She values connecting with children and their families as a shared effort, and has seen meaningful growth when families are actively involved in the process.
Outside of helping families
Other interests.
In her free time, Ariel relishes being outdoors, often venturing into the woods around her home for hiking, running, biking, snowshoeing, and snowboarding. Most importantly, she cherishes moments spent playing and exploring with her two children. She loves travel, creative activities like sewing and painting, reading, and learning to play the violin.
Kinspire allows me the opportunity to connect with and support the success and growth of both the child and their family. I have seen quicker and greater success in a child's development through this approach.
