Rebecca is an experienced, highly skilled occupational therapist who has helped hundreds of Sydney children become more capable and confident at home, preschool, and school. Known for her warm, approachable style, Rebecca has a real gift for connecting with kids and guiding them to make positive progress towards their goals. Whether she’s supporting motor skills, building focus, boosting social confidence, or helping children to build their independence, Rebecca works closely with each child and their family to ensure therapy is practical, fun, and effective.

Rebecca’s experience spans clinic and school settings, where she’s supported children with a range of needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and social or behavioural challenges. She’s a big believer in teamwork, regularly collaborating with families, teachers, and other health professionals to create a well-rounded approach that keeps everyone moving forward together.

In addition to leading social skills groups and mentoring new career clinicians, Rebecca is committed to her own ongoing learning, staying up-to-date with the latest tools and strategies that make therapy engaging and impactful. Her sessions are hands-on and play-based, drawing on sensory integration and DIR Floortime approaches, and she uses assessments like the BOT-2 and Beery VMI to tailor her work to each child’s specific needs.

Rebecca provides both individual and small group occupational therapy services at Kids First. Rebates for her sessions can be accessed via Health funds, Medicare, and the NDIS. She looks forward to helping your child build skills and confidence.
