Hi, my name is Andrea, and I’m an Occupational Therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children, families, and individuals across all stages of life. I have a special interest in play and sensory integration, and I’m passionate about helping children discover their strengths, build confidence, and thrive in their everyday lives.

More about Andrea
I believe that meaningful change begins within a strong and trusting relationship. My approach is playful, creative, and strengths-based, helping children explore their world, regulate their emotions, and develop the skills they need to feel capable and connected. I work closely with families and caregivers, seeing them as essential partners in each child’s journey.
Outside of my work, I love spending time with my family, being outdoors, and finding joy in simple moments—like a picnic in the park, a walk along the beach, or a bike ride in the sunshine. These moments help me stay grounded and remind me of the importance of balance and wellbeing in all aspects of life.
