Function & Flourish OT

I am a licensed occupational therapist with a Master’s degree in OT and a strong clinical focus in pediatrics. Over the years, I have built a diverse and well-rounded career spanning both school-based and medical settings, giving me a comprehensive understanding of how to support children across developmental stages and environments. My experience includes working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, ADHD, sensory processing disorders, and other developmental and neurological conditions. Before earning my master’s degree, I began my journey as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), where I not only delivered therapeutic services but also took on the role of educator—training staff, supporting families, and advocating for inclusive and supportive practices in the classroom. This foundation gave me a deep appreciation for interdisciplinary teamwork and the power of early intervention. My true passion lies in supporting children’s growth through sensory integration, emotional regulation, and functional skill-building. I have developed and implemented individualized programs that promote regulation, social engagement, motor development, and independence in daily routines—whether that’s in a sensory gym, classroom, clinic, or home. I pride myself on being creative, compassionate, and evidence-driven, always striving to meet each child where they are and help them flourish. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for working with children and families, I bring not only clinical expertise but also dedication, flexibility, and heart to every session.
