About

I am a developmentally based pediatric physical therapist working with families experiencing bowel and bladder challenges. I see children of all ages, from infants through teenagers and have significant experience supporting the neurodivergent population. My approach is child-led, trauma-informed, play-based, and family friendly. I find collaboration between the child's other providers (i.e. physicians, specialists, school, mental health, ABA) to be essential-we have to work together as a team! My biggest priorities are for the child and caregivers to feel safe, understood, and educated about the challenges they are experiencing-if you understand what is happening, the treatment process can be easy and fun.
