Nasjah’s therapeutic style is warm, attuned, and collaborative. She prioritizes building strong, trusting relationships with both children and caregivers, recognizing that connection is the foundation for meaningful progress. She meets children where they are, follows their intrinsic motivation, and thoughtfully weaves therapeutic goals into natural play and daily routines. She partners closely with caregivers to create a supportive, unified team and values the role of community and culture in fostering holistic development across all environments.

Originally from New York, Nasjah moved to the Bay Area 10 years ago. She earned her undergraduate degree in Child and Adolescent Development from San José State University and her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Samuel Merritt University.
