Hello

Hi! My name is Kate! I grew up in San Clemente, CA, then made my way to University of San Diego for college, where I majored in behavioral neuroscience. My love for working with kids has been with me for as long as I can remember—from working in YMCA youth programs to working as a preschool aide, I’ve always been passionate about helping kids thrive. While earning my master’s in occupational therapy from Stanbridge University, I focused my thesis on picky eating in kids. I researched how to bridge the gap between feeding therapy at the clinic and at home, providing families with simple, practical strategies to make mealtime easier and more fun.

I’ve had the chance to work in pediatric outpatient clinics, schools, and hospitals, which has given me a well-rounded perspective on how to support children in all kinds of settings. As a therapist, I’m all about meeting kids where they are, creating a positive, inclusive space for growth, and having fun while we do it! I can’t wait to work with you and your child to build skills and confidence!
