I am passionate about setting goals with you, your child and your family to make a positive change for the whole family unit. Allowing your child to reach their maximum potential and build their confidence as they grow.
My special interests lie in the areas of working with autistic children and their families, supporting their child to engage in their daily activities and environments.
I look forward to meeting and working with your family.
