I have been an Occupational Therapist since 2000. After growing up for 25 years in Syracuse NY, I began working with traveling agencies, serving where an occupational therapist was needed. After several years traveling around the US, I ended up here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I am currently raising my two daughters with my husband, enjoying all of the outdoor activities the West Coast provides. 

​

  My professional and personal goal is to catch the children slipping through the cracks and provide the necessary skills for both academic and social success. I am hoping to help kids and parents thrive instead of trying to just get through the day. Thriving means something different to everyone, whether that be getting through the morning routine without a struggle, connecting deeper with your child, or helping your child sleep each night. Each child is unique and presents with unique struggles, making each assessment and treatment individualized. When a child is provided specific skills to enhance their strengths and overcome barriers, everything else is affected including sleep, self-esteem, and compassion. 

​

Occupational Therapy evaluations can be provided as first time assessments or can be used as a supplement to a current OT plan. School systems are limited on services they are able to provide, and I can provide extra support outside of the school based program and even collaborate with your school therapist for the best carryover.​

​

My passion is working with families with kids of all ages on behavior management in any setting. All behavior is relaying a message and my job is to decipher the meaning. I look at the whole child and address sensory processing, emotion regulation, how food and sleep play a role, communication skills, social interactions, and anything else that child has to do in their day to day lives. My goal is to empower families to help their children thrive and become successful members of society. Raising kids is the most important job in the world so make sure you're equipped to do your best!
