About Empower Kids Therapy
We Offer A Different Model of Therapy
One that includes extra support, parent partnership, and the therapeutic tools to create solid improvement in your every day life that creates joyful families.
As a pediatric therapist I know what it takes to really address feeding, sensory, and emotional challenges in children.
I’m talking the kind of exponential growth that changes the course of lives. But this type of transformation requires time, parent involvement, and extra guidance…
All of which does not easily fit into the standard therapy session with insurance restrictions.
THIS is where Empower Kids Therapy was born.
Since seeing the possibilities when more support is provided, I’m no longer settling for less than what children need to get results.
When parents arrive inside the world of Empower Kids Therapy, they find a fresh spark of hope, a different way of thinking, and a sense of being understood.

Reviews
Sam at Empower Kids Therapy has been fantastic! Her communication is clear and informative, and she does a wonderful job of educating parents like myself on how to best support our children. We feel much more empowered to help our child reach their full potential thanks to Sam's guidance.
It was a leap for us to make the change to in home occupational therapy and I'm so thankful we did. I have three kids receiving services and Sam noticed things about them right away that I didn't even have to tell her. She's incredibly knowledgable, proactive, and amazing at what she does. She identifies the areas of struggle for my kids and finds such creative ways for them to gain the tools they need to conquer them. She's the fourth occupational therapist we have seen over the years (due to insurance turnover, people switching jobs etc) and she's by and far the best we've experienced. If you're wondering if Empower Kids Therapy may be a good fit for your families needs, I would encourage you to try it out. I'm so glad we did.
Empower Kids Therapy has really helped my son self regulate, strengthen his low muscle tone, coordination and really has improved his fine motor skills!
We love Ms Sam. Working with her has completely changed the game for my middle child and helped us as a family work together to accomplish daily tasks both big and small. The resources and tools that Ms Sam has shared with us have been priceless and we look forward to continuing our work with her in the near future.
Amazingly talented OT. Sam is dedicated to helping her clients reach their potential and supporting parents in that journey. I have worked closely with Sam in the past in a professional setting and she has been easy to collaborate with, facilitating a team approach to helping shared clients.
Samantha has an amazing ability to connect with my child and provides insight and structure that we have never had before. We appreciate the outside resources offered to continue to develop our own skills to support our child, and truly look forward to continue to work with Empower Kids Therapy! Thank you!
