She has always felt “at home” in pediatric settings and enjoys working with youth of all ages.

Vaz is passionate about embracing neurodiversity, affirming LBGTQ+ and ethnoculturally-diverse youth, and practicing trauma informed care—especially since she has lived personal experiences in all of these areas as an AuDHD & South Asian-American woman. She aims to provide a safe and inclusive environment for her clients with emphasis on collaboration, connection, and empathy as a priority. She especially enjoys implementing sensory integration, executive functioning, self-care & independent living, and motor skills in her OT sessions.
