Kids on the POINT OT, founded in 2012, is a home-based sensory integration studio delivering occupational therapy services nestled in the heart of Point Loma.
The vision is simple: to create meaningful outcomes through sensory integration and relationship-informed approaches that positively impact the daily lives of children, families, & community.

What to Expect From My Model of Care.
Where therapy is about skill building through engagement in meaningful occupations, alongside a highly experienced practitioner!
At Kids on the POINT OT, I have a passion for providing family-centered and play-based care. I value staying informed through professional development, maintaining working relationships with long-standing community partners, and leading a professional study group in San Diego County. At Kids on the POINT OT, you can expect high quality care, where family goals are prioritized, and your child can thrive.
Occupational therapy services are provided to children across all ages, within my home-based studio- because environment matters! Providing services in a naturalistic setting, where state of the art sensory integration equipment is available, as well as a backyard oasis, children are supported to delight in the job of being a kid, while building skills and confidence in a safe space along the way. I support children to engage in all of the activities, or occupations, they want and need to do throughout life. I am committed to building a collaborative relationship with each family and meeting the child exactly where they are at, looking beyond behaviors and diagnoses, with curiosity and compassion.
What I Believe In.
1.cONNECTION always comes FIRST
With a sensory integration background, I strive to empower children with all abilities through therapeutic activities that support human development and well-being, regardless if you “qualify” for therapy services in the traditional medical model. I believe that all children deserve to connect and feel safe as they navigate their world to experience the joys of being a kid!
2. PLAY IS the PRIORITY of childhood
Kids on the POINT OT is focused on supporting children to fully engage in the activities that occupy their time and add meaning to their life. From self-help skills, to socialization, school engagement, play, and more. I believe in targeting goals by prioritizing play. Play is the developmental medium where children gain motor proficiency, learn social skills, and expand upon their identity and creativity.
3. Empowerment is the key to success
With a model that is focused on collaborating with clients and prioritizing the values and goals of the family unit, I believe that parent and family empowerment is the true gauge of success. At Kids on the POINT OT, therapy is done with your child, not to your child. We are all better together!
“When you choose Kids on the POINT OT, you are choosing an approach that prioritizes relationships & connection as the means to create safety for children within their bodies & in the sensory world around us!”
