Connecting Kids, Guiding Development
Let’s join together to understand your child, the meaning of their behavior, and find meaningful ways to connect.
A Note From Kathy…
A goal of my work with children is to help families feel more connected emotionally while supporting and understanding the complex elements that impact their child’s development. As an occupational therapist, my first goal is to support a child by connecting the body, which supports regulation, and their capacity for supporting family relationships. As a result, I see families show more empathy, understanding, gain self- reflection, and shift in their ability to connect with their child, and their children with others.
I’m thankful for the mentors and colleagues from a variety of disciplines that have supported me in my carreer. I have extensive clinical experience working with the following:
- Sensory Processing
- Emotional Regulation
- Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)
- Visual-Spatial Processing
- Anxiety
- Learning Differences
- Challenges in relating and communicating
- Autism (ASD)
- Fragile X
- Physical Disabilities
- ADD/ADHD
- Behaviors
I have training and experience with a variety of programs and treatments including:
