“Hi, I am an occupational therapist, wife, and mom! I am also a lover of being outdoors, good times, good people, and trying not to sweat the small stuff. I am passionate about serving children with sensory processing, developmental differences, or those who benefit from support in their day-to-day activities and routines. I believe that each child is unique and deserves individualized care to foster their growth and strengths.  

My journey in learning about the positive power of occupational therapy began with my younger brother who has Down Syndrome. He received in-home therapy services and I knew I wanted to pursue a career in therapy from a young age after engaging in sessions with him and his therapist. I have worked with children of all ages and with various diagnoses in various settings including clinics, in-home first steps programs, school-based, private practice, group-based, and virtual school teletherapy.

My approach is to work with children in their daily environment as it provides the opportunity for modeling to caregivers, empowering the skills of co-regulation, and enhanced teaching. I use a holistic framework when assessing and working with a child.

My special interest is working with children at their daycares, preschools, non-traditional school settings, and homes to increase carryover in their daily environment and collaborate with caregivers in those settings. With my past experiences, I have realized the significant benefit of working with these children in their environment to increase skills in play, self-care, social participation, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and learning strategies.”
