Ariella is an occupational therapist who is passionate about using a strengths-based approach to empower children and families. She believes in the power of positive, affirming language to build trust, foster self-efficacy, and encourage meaningful engagement in therapy.
She holds a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from the Australian Catholic University and has a strong interest in supporting children’s gross and fine motor skills, activities of daily living (ADLs), and executive functioning.
Ariella chose occupational therapy because she loves seeing progress, whether it’s a child mastering a new skill or a family feeling more confident in their daily routines. She finds immense joy in building strong relationships with children and families, celebrating their wins, and creating a fun, supportive environment for therapy.
Ariella loves playing with the Piggy Bank with her little friends! She loves how it can be adapted to into games that challenge fine motor skills, core strength, and turn-taking, all while keeping kids engaged and excited.
Ariella is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive space where every child feels valued, capable, and supported on their unique journey.
