About Clarissa

Hello! My name is Clarissa and I am a pediatric physical therapist with a passion for working with children of all different ages and developmental needs. I grew up coaching children of all ages how to swim and realized that I loved helping kids grow, so I decided to earn my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I currently work with children primarily ages 0-12 years, including those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. I have a strong interest in nurturing young minds, creating a safe and stimulating environment, and encouraging imaginative play for your child. My experience coaching swim also provides me with the ability to safely care for your child in the water. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and am happy to assist with tasks such as cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.
