I am an experienced Occupational Therapist with a Master's degree in Child Development, specializing in supporting children and families. As a Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) certified provider and a DIR (Greenspan-Floortime) therapist, I bring a personalized, holistic approach to every interaction. My work is also informed by Polyvagal Theory, emphasizing nervous system regulation and safety to help clients thrive.

​

With extensive experience working with children and adults with autism, I guide children in understanding the wisdom of their unique nervous systems and how they function. I help them connect to their bodily sensations, discover practical strategies to feel better, and empower them to realize that they possess this superpower of self-regulation. I help parents develop the same understanding and connection to their own nervous systems, so they can become a resource of regulation for both their children and themselves.

​

I am also the innovator and creator of the SENCIAH kit, designed to teach children skills in self-regulation, emotional wisdom, non-violent communication, and awareness of their own needs and bodily sensations.
