My Why...

As many of you know I have spent the past 6 years living in Columbus, OH. After welcoming two beautiful children into our lives, my husband and I always looked for an opportunity to return home. Western, NY was chock full of Grandma hugs, Grandpa's trains, days filled with cousins giggling together, Buffalo sports, and so much more! In August 2016, my husband accepted a position working for Pegula Sports and Entertainment and our life was complete. Or so I thought...

In Columbus, I helped direct a therapy clinic at The Learning Spectrum "TLS", a school for kids with autism and special needs. This "job" filled my life, my heart, and my soul. I learned so much about Autism, but more so about the families trying to navigate it. When we moved to Hamburg this fall I found my self constantly surrounded by families whose children had been recently diagnosed...and they needed help! We talked about sensory supports, therapies, education options and I found there was not much in the southtowns to fit this need. So, I decided to throw off the bow lines and start this journey to help the community I love. With a strong focus on kids with autism and special needs we provide Speech, OT, and music therapy. I firmly believe in an approach based on acceptance and love. Meeting the child where they are, building a relationship and helping them become the best version of themselves. Our collaborative effort and communication with parents, care givers, and the interdisciplinary team not only develops the whole child at therapies, but also at home. 

This is my why...

Love. Nurture. Grow. Bloom.
