Kimberly, known to many as "Miss Kim," has dedicated her life to working with children. Her journey began at a young age as a babysitter, nanny, and preschool teacher. These experiences sparked her passion for helping children grow and thrive. She earned her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy in 2013, and has since built a diverse career grounded in both evidence-based practice and creative, child-centered care. As an occupational therapist, Kimberly values a holistic approach that considers the whole child. Addressing their sensory, emotional, and developmental needs through individualized interventions. Her professional experience spans a wide range of settings, including acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, school-based services, therapeutic day schools, and outpatient pediatric clinics. She has pursued advanced training in sensory integration through the University of Southern California, is certified in the Size Matters Handwriting Program, and has specialized training in reflex integration through play and Cranial Sacral Therapy. Kimberly is passionate about creating meaningful, functional goals for each child and empowering families to support development at home and in the community.
