I enjoy working with preschool and school-aged children, especially those with autism, sensory processing differences, and challenges with fine motor skills, handwriting, and emotional regulation. My clinical interests include sensory processing, fine motor development, self-regulation, and executive functioning skills such as planning, working memory, problem-solving, organization, and breaking tasks into manageable steps.

My ideal therapy session is play-based, creative, and child-centered. I love incorporating games, obstacle courses, hands-on activities, and arts and crafts to make learning fun and meaningful. I especially enjoy using arts and crafts to help children explore and express their emotions, particularly when they have difficulty identifying or communicating how they feel.

I hope families see me as a patient, encouraging, and creative therapist who listens to their concerns and celebrates every little milestone. My background in assistive technology also helps me connect children with mobility devices, such as wheelchairs and walkers, to support their independence and participation in daily activities.

What I enjoy most about pediatric therapy is creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves and expressing their feelings.
