Elizabeth is a Certified Occupational Therapist coming all the way from New Mexico to New Hampshire to join our team.

Her work is rooted in a play-based, relationship-centered, and sensory-informed approach, with the goal of helping each child feel more regulated, confident and successful in their everyday life. She has experience working with a wide range of needs and has expertise in the following areas including sensory integration, primitive reflex maturation, aquatic therapy, executive functioning, social skills development, Therapeutic Listening Program, cranial-sacral therapy and Reiki. She strives to create a warm, supportive environment where children feel safe to explore, grow and build meaningful skills through connection and play. She is passionate about collaborating with families and empowering caregivers with tools and understanding to support their child's development.
