Our fully equipped mobile unit delivers immersive play-based therapy experiences right to your doorstep, making it easier than ever for children to receive professional support in a familiar, comfortable setting. We use play-based therapy to specialize in sensory therapy, where they can explore a wide variety of textures, movements, and sounds to help improve balance, coordination, and emotional regulation. Our approach not only supports cognitive and motor development but also builds confidence and social skills in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

As a licensed pediatric occupational therapist, we lead each session with compassion, expertise, and a commitment to helping every child reach their fullest potential. Through a comprehensive occupational therapy evaluation, we listen to your concerns, identify your child’s strengths and needs, and create targeted goals tailored specifically to them. As a trusted child therapist, we’re proud to offer compassionate, evidence-based care through early intervention therapy because we believe in the power of sensory play to inspire growth, learning, and joy. To support accessibility for more families, we can also accept scholarship funding as part of our commitment to inclusive care. Let us help your child thrive through the fun, focused treatment that comes to you.
