My Story

I have been interested in the field of Psychology for as long as I can remember and the prominent population that I have worked with has been kids under the age of 10. I am passionate about working with kids because I love to watch them grow and reach developmental milestones. I am interested in going to school for Speech Pathology because I think everyone should have the resources to learn to communicate, whether that is verbally or nonverbally!

Blue Bird Day

Blue Bird Day fosters socialization, sensory regulation, and pre-academic learning in children ages 2–7 years in therapeutic rotations that simulate  preschool and kindergarten settings. Our compassionate therapists practice a relationship-based and family-centered approach, provide parent training, and collaborate on goals and individualized intensive treatment plans for your child.

We believe in a collaborative and multi-disciplinary team approach to therapy.  A team of occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, dietitians, developmental therapists, behavioral therapists, physical therapists, and therapeutic assistants are created for each child to ensure child and family are fully supported and the best possible results are achieved.  

Options for individualized, group and virtual therapy sessions are available as well.
