As I continue work with children and families, I am always in search of new research, interventions and strategies to best treat the whole body. In my time as a therapist, I have been driven to dive deeper than just treating the symptoms at first glance. I look at the child's history from conception until now, becoming aware of who they are as a holistic being and developing an approach that individually addresses their needs, meeting them where they are to help their body integrate from the inside out.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet with you and your child and develop a fully integrated plan to help them become their very best!
