​

I’m a pediatric occupational therapist and mom of three, and for more than 18 years I’ve worked alongside children and families in hospitals, schools, early intervention, and private practice.

​

Over time, I’ve seen something consistent: when we look beneath behavior and support the nervous system first, everything shifts. What often looks like defiance or disruption is usually a child asking for safety, support, or connection.

​

A few years ago, my family began spending more time outdoors. What started as camping trips grew into months of travel, and I witnessed again and again how unstructured outdoor play supported regulation, creativity, and confidence. It deepened my belief that growth doesn’t come from pressure. It comes from safety and relationship.

​

That perspective shaped my work. I provide nature-based occupational therapy outdoors, where children build regulation and confidence through movement, connection, and play. At this time, I’m not accepting new in-person clients.

 

My focus has expanded into courses, coaching, and school-based trainings that help adults feel clearer in hard moments. When the adults feel steady and supported, children follow.

​

Whether you’re here as a parent, teacher, or therapist, my hope is that you find a level of support for you, and a sense that you’re not alone in this work.
