Meet your child's therapist

A clinician, a researcher, and a parent advocate.

Dr. Marianna brings a doctorate in occupational therapy and years of pediatric experience to every session. Her published research informs a practice grounded in evidence β€” but it's her warmth, patience, and deep respect for each child that parents remember most.

Therapy here isn't a checklist. It's a partnership built on trust, where your child is fully seen and you are fully heard.

Parent Stories

The kind of progress that feels like magic.

But it's not β€” it's careful, consistent, evidence-based care that meets each child exactly where they are.

"

My son went from refusing to put on socks to dressing himself in three months. Dr. Marianna made him feel safe in his own body β€” something we'd been chasing for years.

We've worked with three OTs over four years. None compared to Marianna. The clinic feels like a treehouse, and our daughter actually asks to go.

The intensive program changed our summer. My son came out more regulated, more confident, and more himself. The home strategies we learned still anchor us today.

Common Questions

The questions we hear from almost every parent.

Don't see yours? Just ask β€” we answer every consult honestly, with no sales pressure.

No referral required. Many parents reach out directly after recognizing signs at home. If you'd like, we can communicate with your pediatrician throughout care.
We see children from infancy through teen years. Most of our clients are ages 2–12, but we tailor care to your child's developmental stage, not their birthday.
We're a private-pay clinic and provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. Many families receive significant coverage. We'll walk you through the process.
Every child is different, but most parents notice small shifts within 4–6 sessions and meaningful progress within 3 months. We measure and review progress every quarter so you always know where things stand.
We blend three modalities β€” sensory integration, reflex therapy, and nature-based play β€” guided by published research and tailored to each child. Sessions happen in a real, treehouse-feel space at the base of Mount Diablo, not a sterile clinic room.
Take the next step

Your child deserves to feel capable, calm, and connected.

The first conversation costs nothing but 15 minutes. Whether or not we end up working together, you'll leave with clarity about what comes next.

Typical response: within 1 business day Β· Hours: Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm PT
