Samantha earned her Master's degree in Occupational Therapy from Dominican University of California. She has dedicated her career to the pediatric setting, supporting infants, toddlers, children, and teens across a wide range of developmental and neurological diagnoses, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit disorders (ADD/ADHD), developmental delays, Down syndrome, sensory processing challenges, and more. Samantha is certified in both the STAR Institute's Approach to Sensory and the SOS Approach to Feeding, allowing her to support children with a variety of sensory and feeding needs. Her therapy style is guided by empathy, patience, and creativity, with a sprinkle of silliness to help kids feel safe, motivated, and celebrated. She believes strongly in family-centered care and strives to create engaging, meaningful sessions that empower children to build confidence and thrive in daily life.

Samantha’s hobbies include: spending time at the beach, chasing waves, and snuggling with her dog.
