Brooke

Brooke is a pediatric occupational therapist who is passionate about supporting children of diverse abilities through a play-based, strengths-focused approach. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Biola University in 2021 and her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD) from the University of Southern California in 2025. She completed her doctoral capstone project in school-based occupational therapy at Los Angeles Unified School District, which involved program development to support Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for fine motor skills. Her work focused on creating teacher-facing, hands-on resources to support the development of foundational fine motor skills in the classroom for students ranging from kindergarten to 5th grade.

 

Brooke is dedicated to building meaningful, trusting connections with each child and family she works with, using engaging, child-led experiences to support development, regulation, and participation in everyday routines. Brooke seeks to build skills in areas of fine motor, gross motor, sensory processing, and emotional regulation, all approached through a play-based, neurodivergent-affirming, and connection-centered lens. She values honoring each child’s unique strengths, interests, preferences, and communication styles. Brooke believes in celebrating every victory, no matter how small, and that practice makes progress. She enjoys collaborating closely with caregivers to create supportive environments that foster learning, confidence, autonomy, and joy in meaningful, daily activities.

 

Outside of the clinic, Brooke enjoys slowing down and recharging through creative and restorative activities. She is an avid reader and loves talking about each new read. Brooke also loves baking, exploring new coffee shops, caring for her growing collection of houseplants, and spending time at the beach. She also values quality time with loved ones and finds joy in small, meaningful moments that support balance and well-being.
