Introduction

I’m Kim, a pediatric occupational therapist, based in Los Angeles, California. I am dedicated to helping children by fostering growth, independence, and self-esteem along the way. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I work with children to enhance their fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, feeding skills, and daily living activities. I collaborate closely with families and caregivers to create individualized treatment plans that support each child's unique needs and goals. I strive to foster positive, encouraging therapy sessions.

What words would you use to describe yourself?

Empathetic, Patient, Creative

-Empathetic: I strive to connect with each child's individual needs, fears, and challenges. By listening and understanding, I build trust with children and families, fostering a supportive environment.

-Patient: I recognize that every child progresses at their own pace. I offer gentle encouragement, creating space for children to learn and grow without pressure, allowing them to feel comfortable and confident in therapy.

-Creative: I use fun, engaging activities that cater to each childs interests and goals. Through imaginative play, crafts, and games, I keep therapy enjoyable while promoting meaningful progress.

Who are you best positioned to serve?

As a pediatric occupational therapist, I’m best positioned to serve children who may struggle with motor skills, sensory processing, or daily living tasks due to developmental delays, physical disabilities, or behavioral challenges. I work best with children 2 years old and up who have conditions like autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. I also support kids who may face difficulties with fine motor skills, handwriting, coordination, and feeding challenges (“picky eating”). I help children gain the skills they need to thrive more independently, confidently, and successfully in daily activities.
