I have been in LOVE with Occupational Therapy since the fifth grade when I had the opportunity to witness how OT can transform lives. I have 30+ years of experience working with neurodivergent individuals of all ages and I'm a certified autism spectrum disorder clinical specialist.

I enjoy fostering opportunities for social connections and practice in a safe and supportive environment with individuals working on similar skills. I’m passionate about the skill development, sensory awareness and enhanced wellbeing benefits we get when we connect with nature.
