MY APPROACH
DIR Floortime & Music Therapy
Sarah is trained in DIRFloortime®, a therapeutic model that provides a foundation for understanding human development. Through the lens of this training Sarah focuses on identifying key milestones for a person's development and uses these milestones to assess their most pertinent needs. She also identifies their individual differences as she takes into account their unique sensory profiles, interests, and desires. Lastly, she focuses on all the important relationships in a person's life so that skills can be generalized and deep connections can be made. Through this model, Sarah seeks to follow the client's lead and adapt their interests to be used within the context of therapy so that the impacts of her work extend beyond direct therapy.
