Sarah Anderson, BSRS, MOTR/L

Occupational Therapist

My therapy philosophy utilizes a holistic and multidisciplinary team approach depending on each child and family’s needs. Providing parents with tools, strategies, and additional professionals to support daily occupations can include, but are not limited to, child/adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, family doctors or neuropsychologists. Additional team players are essential to the success of occupational therapy services.
