At The Early Years Occupational Therapy, I believe the early years are such an important time for growth, learning, and development.

The skills children build during these years become the foundation for how they play, learn, move, communicate, and become more independent in everyday life.

As a pediatric occupational therapist and a mom, I created The Early Years OT because I believe families deserve support that feels thoughtful, individualized, and practical. I want parents to not only understand what their child is working on, but also feel confident carrying those strategies into everyday routines at home.

My approach is to meet each child where they are, recognize their strengths, and support the areas that are making daily life more challenging. My goal is to help children build the skills they need to feel more confident, capable, and successful in the things that matter most to them and their families.

Thank you for trusting me to be part of your child’s early years.

Supporting children from birth through age 10.

Occupational therapy helps children build the foundational skills they need to move through everyday life with greater confidence and independence. Through play-based, individualized support, I work with children on areas such as fine motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, self-care, attention, emotional regulation, motor planning, visual-motor skills, handwriting, play skills, body awareness, balance, strength, executive functioning, and daily routines.

My goal is not simply to help a child complete a task. I look at the underlying skills that may be making that task difficult, then use meaningful, engaging activities to help build those skills. By strengthening that foundation, everyday routines, play, learning, and participation can become easier, more successful, and less frustrating for both the child and their family.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Services offered

  • In-Home Occupational Therapy

    Therapy takes place in the comfort of your home, where your child can learn and practice skills in a familiar environment.

  • Telehealth

    Virtual sessions offer a flexible way to support your child from home while still keeping therapy interactive, practical, and connected to the routines that matter most to your family.

  • Community & Social Settings

    When it makes sense for your child’s goals, therapy can also take place in real-world settings like parks, libraries, schools, daycares, or other community spaces. These everyday environments give children a chance to practice skills where they naturally happen — while playing, exploring, and participating in daily life.

FAQs

Families often have similar questions when getting started with occupational therapy. Here are a few of the ones I hear most often.

  • If everyday activities like play, dressing, feeding, transitions, attention, coordination, or sensory experiences are becoming difficult, an OT evaluation can help identify what may be getting in the way.

  • No. The Early Years OT is a private-pay practice and also accepts ESA/ClassWallet, so you can reach out directly without a physician referral.

  • I’ll learn about your child’s developmental and medical history, talk through your concerns and priorities, observe your child through play and everyday activities, and assess areas such as motor skills, sensory processing, coordination, attention, and independence. We’ll also discuss meaningful goals based on what matters most to your child and family.

  • Yes. When appropriate, I value collaboration with your child’s physical therapist, speech-language pathologist, pediatrician, teachers, and other providers. Working together can help create a more consistent and well-rounded approach to supporting your child.

  • Therapy sessions are typically 60 minutes and may take place once or twice per week, depending on your child’s needs and goals.
