welcome!

The therapist is on the left side wearing a keffiyeh while holding UNO cards. Across from her is a K.K Slider stuffed animal that appears to be playing UNO as well.

Hi, I'm Debbie. (she/her/ella)

I am a bilingual occupational therapist in the Chicagoland area. I offer culturally relevant pediatric services in the language that matters most to you - español, English, or even Spanglish!

Get to know me.

my mission

My mission is to support children—especially those from Latinx and Spanish-speaking communities—as they access the tools they need to thrive. Through a neurodiversity affirming approach, I create space for kids to shine like the bright stars they are.

my vision

I envision a world where every child is free to grow in a community that honors their magic. Children’s voices hold profound wisdom that has the power to inform the future we build together. Through liberatory care, I seek to create a world where all children are free to thrive.

I provide kids and their families support with:

daily routines
visual perception
fine motor skills
executive functioning
emotional regulation
sensory regulation
and more!

I also offer:

IEP support
consultative services for organizations.

😃 I'm in! Where do I sign up?

🤔 I still have questions...
