My Expertise
I am an advanced Sensory Integration Practitioner. As an occupational therapist I am interested in how I can help people do the things they need and want to do in everyday life. I am passionate about how sensory processing underpins everything we do as it is the foundation on which all other skills develop. I work with individuals and in consultation with other significant people in their lives to gain understanding about their individual sensory profile and what strategies or treatments might be helpful.
