Rooted Therapy's Mission

I am passionate about treating patients in their natural environment to allow for greater carryover of functional skills, as well as providing families with tools and confidence to help their child succeed. I feel strongly about working with all those who surround the child (teachers, parents, siblings, etc.) as well as educating parents/caregivers to allow the child to reach their highest potential. I am committed and look forward to creating strategies that target your family’s goals while motivating your child during each session through interactive and evidence-based therapy techniques.
