Get to know me
For over 20 years, I’ve been working side-by-side with families to support children in growing, learning, and thriving across all areas of development. From the tiniest milestones to the big wins, I believe every child deserves to feel confident, capable, and celebrated.
I actually started my journey as an early childhood teacher—so supporting little ones has always been in my heart. I became an occupational therapist shortly after and dove into pediatric care in Wisconsin and Illinois, where I served as the Lead Early Childhood OT for a city-based special education cooperative. It was an incredible opportunity to partner with families and educators to support children, both in the classroom and at home.
When I moved to Texas, I continued doing what I love—working in early childhood programs, school-age classrooms, home health care, and even community mental health and behavioral clinics. These diverse experiences have helped me develop a well-rounded, whole-child approach to therapy that’s rooted in compassion and collaboration.
I’m certified in pediatrics and school systems through the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), and I’m committed to using evidence-based practices that make a real difference. But beyond the credentials, I believe what really matters is building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I want you to feel heard, supported, and empowered—because you're the expert on your child, and we’re in this together.
Whether I’m helping a child regulate their sensory world, build fine motor skills, or find confidence in daily routines, my goal is always the same: to make therapy feel purposeful, playful, and personal.
Other Interests
When I'm enjoying time away from work, I am an avid half marathon runner (finisher, I am no longer seeking first place!) and traveler. I travel abroad at least twice yearly to run a race or two and, while I'm there, I soak in the magic a new places! I love to at my way through places I explore! When not training or eating, you'll often find me on the sidelines cheering for my favorite baseball player, my son.
