Comprehensive in-home pediatric OT tailored to your child's unique needs and goals.
Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor development is essential for handwriting, using scissors, buttoning shirts, and holding a spoon. Through targeted, play-based activities, we build strength, coordination, and precision in little hands.
- Handwriting readiness and pencil grip
- Scissor skills and cutting
- Hand strength and endurance
- Bilateral coordination
- Pinch and grasp development
Sensory Processing
Some children are overwhelmed by everyday sensory experiences while others constantly seek more input. We help children develop a regulated sensory system so they can learn, play, and connect with others.
- Sensory integration strategies
- Tactile, auditory, and visual sensitivity
- Proprioceptive and vestibular processing
- Self-regulation techniques
- Home sensory diet planning
Self-Care & Daily Living
Independence in daily activities builds confidence and reduces stress for the whole family. We work on self-care routines right in the environment where it matters most.
- Dressing and fasteners (buttons, zippers, laces)
- Feeding and mealtime skills
- Grooming and hygiene routines
- Morning and bedtime independence
- School-readiness skills
Potty Training NEW
Potty training can be especially challenging for children with developmental delays, sensory sensitivities, or autism. We take a compassionate, sensory-informed approach that respects your child's unique needs.

Contact Us TodayAbout Tiny Hands Therapy
A licensed occupational therapist dedicated to helping children thrive in the comfort of their own home.
Hi, I'm the therapist behind Tiny Hands Therapy!
I'm a licensed and nationally certified Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) with a passion for helping children reach their fullest potential. I founded Tiny Hands Therapy because I believe deeply that the best therapy happens in the place children feel most comfortable — home.
After years of working in clinical and school-based settings, I saw firsthand how much more children flourish when therapy is woven into their real environment, with their real toys, their real routines, and the people who love them most.
I specialize in fine motor development, sensory processing, self-care independence, and potty training support for children with developmental differences. Every child receives individualized, compassionate care grounded in evidence-based practice.

What I Believe In
Home Is Best
Children learn most effectively in familiar environments. Bringing therapy home removes barriers and makes every session more meaningful.
Play Is Work
Play is how children develop. Every session is engaging, joyful, and purposeful — because when kids are having fun, they're learning.
Families Are Partners
You know your child best. I work alongside families to set meaningful goals and ensure progress continues between sessions.
Evidence-Based Care
Every intervention is grounded in current research and best practices in pediatric occupational therapy.
Compassion First
Every child deserves patience, warmth, and unconditional positive regard. I meet every child exactly where they are.
Whole-Child Focus
I look at the full picture — sensory, motor, emotional, and environmental — to support every aspect of development.

Warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our therapist built a real connection with our child and made every session fun. We never had meltdowns — just excitement!
My daughter was struggling with dressing herself every morning. After a few months, she's now doing it independently. Such a relief for our whole family.
I was skeptical about in-home therapy but it was the best decision we made. The sessions feel natural using his own toys in his own space. He loves it.
The parent coaching is exceptional. I always knew exactly what we were working on and got strategies I could use between sessions. I feel like a true partner.
