I’m a pediatric occupational therapist with a specialty in neurodivergent, gifted and disabled learners. For the past 5 years, I’ve been living in Vancouver Canada where I also practice as a clinical counsellor. I’m thrilled to be back in Tucson and look forward to Olive Branch’s mentorship and support as I transfer my mental health credentials to Arizona.

Whether your child struggles with a disability or medical condition, ADHD, ASD, giftedness or other special needs, your family’s life may feel more difficult than most. This can leave you feeling alone. People may not understand your struggles or unique needs.

Your child may feel overwhelmed by sensory experiences, struggle with social interactions, face challenges at school, and encounter other difficulties that can leave you frustrated and exhausted. Sometimes, even simple daily routines can be a struggle.

You love your child fiercely, but navigating their unique needs can feel impossible. You may feel suffocated by worry or overthinking. Your relationship with your spouse or other children may feel strained, which can easily evoke feelings of guilt. It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed and wonder if you are doing the best for your neurodivergent child.

Over the years, I’ve met hundreds of kids and families who have helped me develop unique and creative strategies to support your child’s emotional, sensory, and developmental needs.

Every child is different, and what works for one may not work for another. I take a tailored approach, meeting your child where they are and helping you navigate their specific needs and strengths.

I offer a skilled, compassionate and non-judgmental space to work with you and your child. I’ll help them overcome challenges, celebrate their abilities, and strengthen family bonds so each member feels more understood and supported.

You and your loved ones deserve to live a vibrant, fulfilling and whole life. I am here to help navigate the obstacles, advocate for inclusion and accommodation, and support your successes as you build the life you love.

My rate for OT sessions is $150 for 50 minutes and $75 for 30 minutes —

I accept private pay.
