I have spent over 20 years working with young children in school-based settings across South Florida, and handwriting has been at the heart of my work from the very beginning. I hold a Master of Occupational Therapy and I am trained in Handwriting Without Tears, which gives me a deep understanding of how children develop writing skills and what gets in the way. I have worked with children as young as three years old through elementary school, in both small group and one-on-one settings, tailoring every session to where each child actually is — not where we think they should be.
My approach is structured but playful, because young children learn best when they feel engaged and confident. In each session I focus on what that child specifically needs — whether that is pencil grip, forming letters, sizing, spacing, or building the foundational pre-writing skills that make everything else easier. I do not use a one-size-fits-all curriculum. I identify the root of the challenge first and build from there.
I offer both virtual sessions and bring the same level of preparation and care to every lesson. I keep parents informed throughout the process so that practice at home supports what we work on together. If your child is struggling with handwriting or you simply want to give them a strong foundation before the next school year, I would love to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session!
