MEET MISS ELISE...

​

Miss Elise is a nationally certified and state-licensed pediatric occupational therapist with specialized training in sensory integration, neurodiversity-affirming approaches, and strengths-based intervention. She works with children across early childhood through adolescence to identify their internal body signals, use sensory strategies to support self-regulation, and develop skills necessary for successful engagement in meaningful activities across natural environments (school, home, social settings).

Miss Elise’s clinical experience includes working with children presenting with sensory processing challenges, neurodevelopmental differences, physical disabilities, learning differences, challenging behaviors, and delays in activities of daily living. She has served children and families in outpatient clinics, school-based settings, community programs, and private practice environments.

​

She holds active national certification through the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy and is certified in Astronaut Training (a sound-activated vestibular–visual protocol) and Therapeutic Listening. She integrates sensory-motor, vestibular, and visual-perceptual frameworks into therapy to support foundation skills essential for learning, attention, self-regulation, and participation in daily routines.

​

Miss Elise earned both her Bachelor of Science in Occupational Science and Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of New Hampshire. She is committed to family-centered care and works closely with caregivers to create practical home programs, build strong routines, and support progress across home, school, and community settings.

When she is not “playing” in the therapy room, Miss Elise enjoys playing fantasy football, working on projects around the house, watching a good documentary, and spending quality time with her family and friends.
