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.
