About Me

Hi! I’m Sarah, a licensed occupational therapist with a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Northern Arizona University, class of 2022. I specialize in sensory processing and feeding therapy, and am passionate about helping children build confidence and independence through meaningful, play-based interventions.

I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and made the move to San Diego in 2022. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings—including early intervention, outpatient pediatric clinics, school environments, and skilled nursing facilities—which has given me a well-rounded perspective on care across the lifespan.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at the beach, walking with my dog Georgie, spending time with friends, or recharging with yoga and kickboxing.

Working with children has always been a passion of mine, and I feel incredibly grateful to support families and be part of each child’s journey toward growth and independence!

What Families Are Saying

  • "When we started OT, my son wouldn't even put anything near his mouth. Now, he's willingly feeding himself and trying new foods! We are so grateful for Sarah's consistency & positivity that contributed to his feeding progress!”

  • “Our daughter, E, saw Sarah for feeding therapy to improve her oral motor skills after she was diagnosed with a feeding and swallowing disorder and was aspirating every time she drank milk. Any disability can be scary for a parent, but the nature of E’s disorder was very scary for us as we were afraid of her choking. Sarah made OT and feeding therapy fun! E loved when Ms. Sarah would come over and made a lot of progress very quickly! She only needed OT for about 6 months. We truly believe in the power of early intervention. Sarah not only supported E during our sessions, she also supported me with brainstorming ideas for new foods, recipes and textures to try throughout the week. She helped us plan out safe snacks and lunches to pack for daycare so I didn't have to worry about E choking while in someone else's care. Sarah was kind, helpful, educational and developed rapport with E so quickly! I work as an SLP and have worked with many OTs throughout my career. Sarah is one of the best!”

  • “Sarah has been a true treasure for our family and for others needing support with fine motor skills and life skills. She has a wonderful ability to help young children make progress through play-based learning. Sarah thoughtfully selects toys and tools tailored to our specific needs, and her fun, patient teaching style consistently engages my little one—even when attention is hard to hold.

    I am always amazed by what my child is able to achieve with Sarah’s guidance and encouragement.”

  • “Sarah has been an invaluable resource for me personally, especially during overwhelming moments—whether dealing with a picky eater or addressing biting and hitting behaviors. She not only brings deep knowledge and insight but also offers concrete, practical recommendations and action plans—like recipes and tools—that I can implement right away. What I appreciate most is how prepared and proactive Sarah is in every session. She follows up on past discussions, addresses ongoing challenges, and ensures each activity is customized to fit our needs. Since working with Sarah, my child has made meaningful progress in both play and self-help skills.”
