Get to know me
I am a registered and licensed pediatric occupational therapist with a diverse experience spanning over 5 years. During my career, I have worked in the hospital, outpatient, schools, telehealth, and early intervention settings. I have started my journey of getting certified in DIR/Floortime, which has changed my entire perspective on connecting and treating clients. In addition to DIR/Floortime training, I have completed continuing education in dysgraphia, sensory integration, postural control, pediatric pelvic floor, and social-emotional development.
My mission is to teach every family how to connect with their child at the deepest levels. Connection and relationship are foundational for our sense of belonging, and it can be really damaging if we lack that with our children. I want to help everyone experience their most wholehearted selves. I am passionate about advocacy and empowerment for the neurodiverse community. I have personal and professional experience finding success while navigating neurodiversity. I strongly believe that our individual differences are a gift, and I strive to provide that insight to my clients.

Other Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. I live on the coast so I spend a lot of time at the beach, kayaking and swimming. My favorite outdoor activity is soccer; it's been my love since I was 5 years old. When I am not outside, I enjoy traveling and learning through podcasts, TED Talks, and audiobooks. I have many interests, so I am usually engaged in 3-4 audiobooks simultaneously.
