Ms. Diane

OTR/L

Pediatric Occupational Therapist

Diane is a warm and deeply experienced pediatric occupational therapist who loves working with children and their families. Diane has practiced occupational therapy for more than forty years across a rich variety of settings, including sensory integration clinics, early intervention programs, private schools for children with autism, county and public health clinics, a state hospital, integrative health centers, and her own long-running pediatric OT private practice in California before relocating to Hawaii. 

Diane has been a beloved member of the Sprouts Therapy team for over ten years, providing sensory integration, play-based therapy, and direct treatment for children with Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, Down Syndrome, hypotonia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, cerebral palsy, and other developmental and congenital differences. Diane's clinical practice is shaped by extensive training in Sensory Integration, Pediatric and Infant Neurodevelopmental Treatment, the SOS Approach to Feeding, and multiple listening and vestibular programs, and she brings her love for Iyengar yoga and her Craniosacral Therapy training into her sessions, weaving gentle, body-aware practices into each child's plan of care. 

Above all, Diane brings a calm, unhurried, whole-body presence to every child she works with, and believes that meaningful growth happens when a child feels safe, understood, and gently met exactly where they are.
