I am a specialist Pediatric Occupational Therapist offering a structured yet play-based approach to therapy. I
specialize in the assessment and intervention of neurodevelopmental conditions using a structured, play-
based approach grounded in Sensory Integration and Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT). My core areas
of work include executive functioning skills, building independence in activities of daily living, emotional
regulation; using the Zones of Regulation and ABC-guided analysis, feeding therapy, and school readiness. I
design individualized social narratives and visual supports to help children carry skills into everyday life at
home and school.
I work from a neuro-affirmative approach and see therapy as a shared process with the child and their family,
not something done to them. I believe children make the most meaningful progress in their everyday
environments. My focus is on working closely with parents and helping them carry therapeutic strategies into
daily routines so that regulation and participation become part of real life, not just therapy sessions.
My primary clinical passion is Early Intervention and Neonatal Development, an area where actively
contribute to research and have received awards from the Association of Neonatal Therapists.
Beyond my clinical role, I am a realistic sketch artist and a vocalist. I deeply value the “therapeutic use of self”
and often use live sketching and vocal
modulation in my sessions. These creative tools allow me to build immediate rapport, lower anxiety, and
create a safe, engaging space for children.
