Occupational Therapy
Our approach is centered on empowering children at every stage, working closely with families to foster growth in the areas that matter most. Through personalized care and innovative treatment methods, we strive to enhance each child's development in a supportive and nurturing environment.
We do this through:
Comprehensive Support: From the newborn phase to early childhood, our services address each stage of growth to ensure children develop essential skills.
Skill Building for Independence: We aim to strengthen children’s abilities across motor, sensory, and social domains, supporting their independence in daily activities.
Family-Centered Care: We partner with families, providing tools and guidance to reinforce goals at home for long-lasting impact.
Individualized Plans: Each child receives a customized plan tailored to their unique needs.
Holistic Development Focus: We address the whole child, integrating strategies to support both the mind and body for optimal progress.
Value of Quality: In our small clinic setting, you work consistently with the same therapist. Each of our therapists brings over a decade of experience and extensive training in their specialties, ensuring that your child receives the highest level of care and expertise.

“Jana is an exceptional OT. She takes the time to train, learn new and innovative techniques and she will literally change your child's life! Jana has such a great rapport with the children she works with and the parents too. She is extremely patient and allows kids to be kids during her sessions, while still creating an environment that is conducive to expanding whatever skill that the child is working on. I am beyond impressed with her expertise.”
“Words can't express the experience our daughter had at her intensive with Jana! We did not know what to expect, and there was so much anxiety around the unknown. In short, we were able to see our daughter be stretched, be cuddled and be cheered for, in a way that we have not experienced! Jana's passion and expertise gave me confidence that I've been searching for as a parent to do things at home to show my daughter a new normality around movement and fun throughout her day.”
“I can’t say enough about Jana! Our daughter has trisomy 18 and she hit a plateau, we found Jana and our daughter immediately connected with her and Jana has gotten her to do more than she has ever been able to do and she enjoys it! She’s never enjoyed therapy before. She pushes her in the best way and has given her so much. Jana is so personable and treats us like family. 100% recommended her!”
