As an Occupational Therapist and Parenting Mentor I provide high quality assessment and intervention for children and families.
My mission is to encourage, empower and equip you to create calm, connected and happy families.
If your child is between 6 months and 6 years and demonstrating…
- Sensory difficulties
- Behaviour problems
- Attention problems
- Emotional challenges
- Difficulty getting along with peers or siblings;
- Poor self- regulation of sleeping, feeding and moods
- Poor self-esteem and/or self-confidence.
.
…You’ve come to the right place.
Why reach out to me?
I am intentional about having a small case load which means that you and your family will receive high-quality care that is specific to you and your child.
I believe that there is no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach. Each family is unique and comes to me with a certain set of strengths and challenges.
My approach is grounded in sensory integration theory, DIR Floortime® and neuro developmental therapy.
I am intentional about having a small case load which means that you and your family will receive high-quality care that is specific to you and your child.
I believe in a play-based, relationship-based approach to therapy that is rooted in regulation.
I will help your child and family to overcome the challenges that you are facing. I will guide your child and family to go beyond surviving and move toward thriving.
My philosophy is grounded in the following beliefs…
You are the expert when it comes to your child. Therefore parents are invited to participate in every session. We also set aside regular parent-only education sessions we work together to reach the best possible outcome. One of my main goals of therapy is to help you, the parent, understand and support your child through activities that are most meaningful to them as well as to your family.
What other parents are saying…
Baie dankie vir jou professionaliteit en empatie waarmee jy gehelp het om ‘n oplossing vir my te help vind. Ek waardeer jou bedagsaamheid en simpatie met my frustrasie en probleem. Jy het uit jou pad uitgegaan om vir my te help soek na oplossings om gedrag aan te spreek en makliker te maak vir beide myself, asook om my seuntjie te help om self te reguleer. Dankie ook vir die lyding wat jy verskaf het in verband met verdere video’s en leeswerk wat ek na kon kyk. Ek sal beslis weer van jou dienste gebruik maak en ‘n telefoniese konsultasie ten sterkste aanbeveel vir enige ouer.
