“A baby’s occupation is to learn through movement and play! As a pediatric occupational therapist, I support the baby and family by creating an optimal environment needed for the baby to develop and learn. I have intimate knowledge of typical and atypical motor development, as well as an understanding of the sensory systems and how they impact the baby’s ability to feed, play, and interact.  I have always had a passion for treating infants and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you and your baby!”
