Where care meets growth.

Welcome to Therapy South, where expertise meets heart, and therapy is more than a service—it’s a partnership.

At Therapy South, we believe in more than just therapy—we believe in empowering every child’s journey and every family’s story. We’re here for the real moments: the breakthroughs and the quiet victories, the challenges that become stepping stones, and the milestones that deserve to be celebrated.

Every session we lead is a collaboration, not a prescription. We listen, we adapt, and we create therapy experiences as unique as the children and families we serve. Because no two kids are the same, and no two therapy journeys should be either.


Celebrating individuality and nurturing mind-body wellness for children and their families.

Because every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered.


We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy plan; we believe in meeting your child and family where you are, with care and therapeutic solutions tailored to your child’s needs. Whether we’re navigating sensory challenges, strengthening communication skills, or building motor strength, we uncover the details that make your child’s journey…well…theirs.

Perfection

This is who we are. This is Therapy South.

We want every child to feel celebrated, every parent to feel supported, and every family to feel seen and understood.

 And that’s where we come in—not just providing therapy, but creating an experience of growth, empowerment, and joy. With a blend of knowledge, heart, and presence, we’ve built a space where families feel at home, where they know they’re part of something intentional.

Therapy South is more than just pediatric occupational, feeding, speech, and physical therapy—it’s a partnership. It’s the art of supporting children through life’s ups and downs while ensuring families feel encouraged, informed, and empowered every step of the way.

therapy south's story

THE ORIGIN
STORY

Here you’ll learn a little bit about myself and the story behind Therapy South, a journey that reflects both my own path and the heart of the work we do every day.

I’m a pediatric occupational therapist, a military wife, a bilingual therapist, and a mom. With almost 20 years in this field, I can honestly say that working with kids and families isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. Therapy truly is woven into my life in a way that feels as natural as breathing. When I’m helping families, it’s like a rhythm; it just flows…

Finding My Calling
From the beginning, I was drawn to work with children and families, especially in areas like sensory processing, feeding, and neuro-affirming care. It’s work that feels completely innate to me—almost like a secret (welcome to the secret!) I get to share with each family that walks through our doors. I see kids as resilient and incredibly capable, and I believe there’s no challenge we can’t solve together. 

I believe…with a little curiosity, time, and the right support, everything is figureoutable. Our goal at Therapy South is for families to feel that they’re on the right path, that they’re supported, and that their children are in good hands.

The Heart of Therapy South
Building Therapy South, from the beginning, has been all about creating a place that’s intentional, welcoming, and truly centered around families.

Therapy isn’t just about techniques and tools; it’s about a delicate balance—a blend of knowledge, heart, and presence. Therapy South was born from this balance and what continues to live on today.”

Here, we’re not just supporting development; we’re building a space where families feel at home, where they know they’re part of something intentional. Therapy South is more than a clinic—it’s a community built on passion, dedication, and a deep belief in the potential of every child and family we meet.

Driven by Passion and Purpose
I’m a strong believer in optimism and courage. I approach life with a sense that nothing is an accident, that everything is intentional, and that every connection is meaningful. I pour this sense of purpose into Therapy South. My passion for this work lights me up every day; it’s a fire that keeps me going. I truly believe in the courage to show up fully, to embrace life’s challenges, and to not let outside forces dictate our joy. Therapy South is a reflection of that spirit—it’s a place where our families can feel safe, hopeful, and encouraged.

Thank you for being here and for trusting us. Therapy South is my heart, and I’m honored to share it with you and your family. Together, we’ll celebrate every step forward and are honored to be part of your journey. Welcome to Therapy South …
