I have been working with children  and their families with fine motor, sensory regulation and feeding challenges since graduating from Midwestern University, in Downers Grove, IL in 2000. Some kiddos need a little extra help with fine motor skills, others experience difficulty with sensory processing and still others struggle to try new foods.  In January, I began a new adventure as the Therapy Manager at Helping Hands Therapies in Novato, CA.  My goal is to help each child develop her skills, increase independence and successful participation in the activities that matter! 

I am a firm believer that a good therapist never stops learning and adding to her "bag of tricks".  I have completed specialized training in the areas of: 

Sequential Oral Sensory Feeding 

Social Thinking

Sensory Integration Certification

Therapeutic Listening
