Feedback from families...
Mel isn't just an incredible occupational therapist, she's also a wonderful human. I feel so lucky to have her in my and my daughter's lives. She is filled to the brim with empathy, optimism, warmth, and acceptance, and these qualities shine bright during each of her interactions. She is a passionate client advocate, and she always brings the fun! She has taught me to be a better mother through the way she recognizes and honors my child's strengths, needs, and motivations, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone.

Melanie truly cares about her patients. She treated my child like an individual and always with respect. She helped our whole family as we learned about sensory differences and how they might be affecting our child. I gained confidence in how to better understand my unique child and how to advocate for him. I am so beyond thankful for her boundless energy and for her support and guidance. She is the standard I hold other professionals to—especially when it comes to neurodivergent-affirming, child-led therapies. I whole-heartedly recommend Melanie for both OT and aqua therapy. I know our child is thriving now because of the foundational skills Melanie helped him develop early on. —Anika E.
Melanie is AMAZING! She makes us feel so heard and validated. She not only meets our kid where they are at, but us too. Our child loves her and is always so excited to see her. Melanie is a great listener and so skilled at what she does. We can't recommend her enough, she means so much to our family.

Melanie's unwavering dedication and responsive support have made a profound impact on our entire family. Unlike previous OT providers, her neurodivergent-affirming approach not only recognized but truly celebrated our child's strengths and unique needs. She cultivated a safe and nurturing environment that allowed our child to grow in confidence and feel empowered.
One aspect we especially appreciated was her commitment to involving our family in the process and advocating for our child's needs at school. Melanie engaged us in collaborative problem-solving, consistently finding both large and small ways to enrich our child's life and help him navigate challenges. Her creativity and resourcefulness provided new perspectives we hadn't considered before.
We are endlessly grateful to Melanie for showing us the possibilities that come from embracing, learning about, and celebrating our differences. She is simply incredible, and we feel so fortunate to have had her support on this journey.
