I’m Ready to Help

I’m Cristina Cintron, a bilingual pediatric occupational therapist with over 7 years of experience. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a deep love and appreciation for the special years of life: early childhood.

I’ve worked with hundreds of families across California and Texas in early intervention and pediatric clinics, both in-person and virtually.

I founded Bright & Early OT so families could gain access to effective services that are truly customized and convenient. I’ve also find it fun and gratifying to work as a mentor to new early intervention clinicians.

I live in East San Diego and go back home to Texas whenever I can.

Let’s Chat!

In-person services are available to families in select zip codes in East San Diego County.

Virtual services are available to families across California.
