Staff Profile: Jisel

Hi, I’m Jisel! I’m an Occupational Therapist with a strong passion for child development, autism, and helping people of all ages gain confidence and independence. While I have a deep love for working with kids (thanks to my years as an early childhood educator), I also support adults on their journey to living life to the fullest. Whether it’s fine motor skills, sensory needs, or just figuring out how to make everyday tasks easier, I’m here for it!

At home, I have two beautiful daughters—one of whom is autistic—which gives me both personal and professional insight into the world of neurodiversity. I’m neurodivergent myself, so I totally get the joys of thinking outside the box (and occasionally forgetting what I walked into a room for).

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me at the beach, painting, drawing, or getting completely lost in a book. I’m a massive Harry Potter fan, and if you bring up Hogwarts, be prepared for a very detailed discussion about which house you should be in.

I love what I do, whether it’s helping kids develop new skills, supporting adults in achieving their goals, or just making therapy fun and meaningful for everyone.
