Nicole Butcher, MOT OTR/L

Occupational Therapist

I use a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach that honors each child’s unique way of engaging with the world. My sessions are play-based, relationship-centered, and focused on building meaningful skills that support success in daily life.

I’m passionate about creating supportive, joyful, and accessible environments where all children can thrive. I love collaborating with families and educators to help each child feel confident and capable in their own skin.

I believe in building strong, respectful partnerships with families. Together, we co-create goals and strategies that fit naturally into daily routines and reflect the family’s values and priorities.
