Meet Tori Jude
Registered & Licensed Occupational Therapist
One of my greatest passions is helping children make sense of the big emotions they feel. As a neurodivergent individual myself, I understand that this is a journey and process that involves taking a deep dive into one's sensory profile, interoceptive awareness and regulation in order to put all the pieces together. It also requires assessing environments, making adaptations and providing support collaboratively.
The world can be a loud and overwhelming place especially for neurodivergent individuals and I feel called to help families feel safe, advocate for themselves and thrive!
My mission is to promote autonomy, help individuals achieve their goals, and improve their quality of life. I believe in a collaborative approach and work closely with families and caregivers to ensure holistic practice and best outcomes.
