Hi! I’m Laura, founder of Pediatric Therapy By The Sea and a licensed and registered Occupational Therapist in California, serving children and families across North County San Diego.

I founded Pediatric Therapy By The Sea to offer holistic, high-level professional therapeutic care grounded in play, evidence-based practices, and deep family connection. I am highly specialized in working with children across all areas of development, with clinical expertise in early intervention, sensory processing, and developmental delays.

To bring the healing, regulating power of the ocean to our neurodivergent community, I also founded the Salty Kids Surf Club, a surf therapy program based right here in Encinitas.

I strongly believe that true progress doesn't happen in isolation. I strive to make every aspect of therapy family-centered so that parents and caregivers feel equipped to support their kids not just in the clinic, but at home, in school, and out in the community. I’m here to be your child’s biggest supporter- and your most trusted co-pilot.

I’m ready to help your little one make big waves!
