    With experience in early intervention and pediatric outpatient clinics, Alie is all about creating personalized, playful, and meaningful care plans that help little ones thrive — not just in therapy, but at home, school, and everywhere in between. Alie loves making therapy fun and engaging by tailoring sessions to each child’s favorite things — whether that’s a holiday-themed activity, a Paw Patrol scavenger hunt, or a superhero yoga adventure. She believes that when therapy feels like play, kids make amazing progress. Over the years, Alie has worked with hundreds of families — always with a focus on education, advocacy, and celebrating every small (and big!) win. She’s especially passionate about helping families feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way. In her outpatient work, she’s created everything from caregiver support groups to social-emotional and mindfulness groups — all designed to nurture connection, confidence, and joy. Her therapy toolkit includes extensive knowledge on sensory integration, trauma and anxiety-informed care, Floortime techniques, pediatric yoga, mindfulness, feeding support, and sleep training and consultation. Alie also loves collaborating with other professionals — always learning, growing, and finding new ways to support her clients in the best way possible. Outside of Creating Connections she enjoys cooking, going for walks with her dog, kayaking, Netflix marathons and traveling to St. Petersburg, FL with her family and friends!
