Hi, I'm Vanessa

I'm a doctor of occupational therapy with a passion for pediatrics and feeding therapy. From a young age, I've been drawn to working with children, and that energy has only grown stronger throughout my clinical training.

With a strong research background in play, child development, picky eating, and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), I strive to help children succeed — bringing creativity and genuine care to every interaction.

Originally from Toronto, I've called Las Vegas, New York, and now Miami home — each city shaping my practice and deepening my love for this work.
