As an occupational therapist, I am passionate about making a difference.  I want to be able to positively impact the lives of others through the work that I do.  I continue to pursue new opportunities, education, professional development and professional relationships to support my mission and goals.  I am driven by curiosity, grounded in education and evidence based research and a belief in the impossible.

As I continue work with children and families, I am always in search of new research, interventions and strategies to best treat the whole body.  In my time as a therapist, I have been driven to dive deeper than just treating the symptoms at first glance.  I look at the child's history from conception until now, becoming aware of who they are as a holistic being and developing an approach that individually addresses their needs, meeting them where they are to help their body integrate from the inside out.  

​

I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet with you and your child and develop a fully integrated plan to help them become their very best!
