About Amanda
I bring a wealth of clinical experience as a licensed occupational therapy practitioner. With a proven track record of success in various settings, including school-based, hospital, home health, outpatient, prescribed pediatric extended care (PPEC), and telehealth, I possess the skills and expertise needed to support you and your family's well-being.
My approach to treatment is deeply rooted in the latest research, emphasizing an integrative and neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Neurodiversity-affirming practice entails respecting and celebrating the unique strengths and challenges of neurodiverse individuals. I am committed to offering sensory and relationship-based strategies tailored to your specific needs and goals, with the aim of enhancing your child's development and improving your family's overall quality of life.
Ultimately, my goal is to empower you and your family, making you feel more informed and confident as you navigate the therapy process. If you're ready to take the next step, I am here to help.
Outside of helping families
Other interests.
Outside of my work, I enjoy reading, watching documentaries, yoga and traveling.
Kinspire is an innovative treatment tool that connects me to families that need OT coaching to feel more empowered and effective as caregivers for children with sensory processing and executive functioning differences.
