Empowering Parents and Children

About The Grounded Family

Grounded: Being present, stable, and calm - even amidst external chaos. To be authentic and connected to your sense of self.

Supporting families to feel connected, capable, and grounded, I focus on both pediatric OT as well as supporting parents. A confident and relaxed parent can do wonders for child well-being, but often reaching that place as a parent can feel overwhelming or impossible. I am here to help you enjoy your role as a parent, and also to support your little ones meet their milestones, gain confidence, and thrive.

Supporting parents and children for healthier connections and greater contentment.

Occupational Therapy for your Little Ones

How can I get enough tummy time for my baby? How do I encourage crawling? Can I support more word use? Is my baby/toddler on track? Is W-sitting really a problem? Is this pencil grasp okay? I will assess your child and then guide you through understanding what is normal and when to be concerned. I can help with referrals as needed, and can teach you simple and creative ways to help your child meet their developmental milestones. I can also help you understand your child's unique sensory profile and improve regulation.

Occupational Therapy for Parents

Helping parents re-establish routines, participate in self-care, and build confidence in parenting. Some of the challenges that I assist parents with include: feeling isolated or overwhelmed, settling into new roles and routines, modifying activities while recovering from birth or care-giving injuries, creating baby and toddler-safe spaces, finding ways to re-engage in previously enjoyed activities, and dealing with extra challenges related to colic, feeding challenges, allergies, sleep problems, tantrums, and more.

About me

Throughout my career as an Occupational Therapist, I've had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan. But it was becoming a mom that truly reshaped my professional focus and passion. I experienced firsthand how overwhelming parenthood can be and the immense challenge of adapting to a new identity.

Now, I combine my professional expertise with my lived experience to support the whole family. I'm here to help you work toward your unique goals. Whether you want to reclaim time for a daily shower, rediscover your hobbies, better understand your baby's sensory needs, or learn new ways to encourage your child's milestones, I can help.

My goal is simple: to help you see that life can be more manageable. You don't have to settle for just surviving each day—I'm here to help your family thrive.
