As a licensed pediatric occupational therapist and SOS trained feeding therapist, I have experience working directly with children with sensory processing, emotional regulation, and feeding difficulties.

I have learned that there is often a missing piece to the puzzle when helping children develop their own sensory strategies and coping skills, and that missing piece is caregiver education.

My goal is to be with caregivers every step of the way as they learn about their child’s sensory needs (and even their own sensory needs!). You might be wondering why your child is demonstrating certain behaviors or why every. single. activity. seems so difficult for them compared to their peers.

I am here to answer these questions for you and help you better understand what your child needs and how you can provide the necessary accommodations and strategies for them to be most successful in their daily activities. 

Many children may already be seeing an occupational therapist on a regular basis, but maybe the family has yet to see changes or they are having difficulty implementing strategies given to them by their child’s OT.

My goal is to help you implement these strategies in a way that works for your family. I will take the time to learn about the challenges you and your family are facing and help you figure out sensory accommodations. This can often be a trial and error process so I want to be with you along the way so that you can see real changes for your child. 

In addition to sensory-based consultations, I offer picky eating consultations to help you learn more about why mealtime is so difficult for your child and your family. Whether your child is only eating a few foods, they refuse to come to the table for mealtime, or they are showing aversions to a variety of textures, I can help you understand more about what you are seeing. I will provide you with strategies you can start right away to help make mealtimes more calm for your family.

I can’t wait to work with you!
