About Me

I'm a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) licensed in California with 4 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and older adults. My journey started in geriatrics, but I found my true calling in pediatrics. Since then, I've worked with infants, toddlers, and young children in early intervention and outpatient settings, helping them reach meaningful developmental milestones. One area I'm especially passionate about is how primitive reflexes influence a child's development. I love helping families understand the connection between movement, sensory experiences, and everyday skills like coordination, attention, self-regulation, and independence. I also have personal experience with Fragile X syndrome and other developmental differences, which gives me a deeper appreciation for what families navigate every day. I believe parents are true partners in therapy. My goal is to share practical strategies that fit naturally into your family's routine — not add more to your plate. As a mom myself, I know how busy and overwhelming life can be. I strive to create a warm, judgment-free space where every question is welcome. If I don't have an answer, I'll find one. I offer afternoon and evening appointments and provide services in both English and Spanish.

Why Clients Love Working With Me

Families tell me they feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely heard from the very first session. I celebrate every milestone — big or small — and I keep therapy fun and engaging so kids actually look forward to it. I work closely with parents to build simple, confidence-boosting strategies they can use at home every day. My goal is for every family to leave each session feeling hopeful, understood, and ready to keep the momentum going.
