About Me
Hi, I'm Kimberly!
I’m a doctorate of occupational therapy with over 15 years of pediatric experience, a USC grad, and a mom to two rambunctious young boys. Born and raised in South Orange County, I’m passionate about supporting local families and helping children feel confident, capable, and successful in everyday life.
My experience includes early intervention, developmental delays, sensory processing, feeding challenges, and functional skill development with an emphasis on children 0-10 years of age. I take a child-centered, family-focused approach, creating therapy that is meaningful, practical, and tailored to each child.
Becoming a mom has transformed the way I practice. I understand the joys and challenges of parenting firsthand, and I bring that perspective, patience, and compassion to every family I work with. I believe therapy should fit into real life—not add another layer of stress.
At SoCal Kids Therapy, my goal is to help children build skills, confidence, and independence while giving families the support and tools they need along the way.
Together, we can help empower your child to build a brighter tomorrow.
