I am a passionate, dual-background Occupational Therapist dedicated to helping children thrive by building a foundation of safety, trust, and joy.

My journey into therapy began at Michigan State University, where I earned my undergraduate degree in Special Education. I then combined my love for teaching and therapeutic movement at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, graduating with my Master’s in Occupational Therapy. Since entering the field in 2019, I have gathered diverse experience across acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and pediatric settings. This broad medical and developmental background allows me to look at each child holistically.

In my pediatric practice, relationship comes first. I firmly believe that true skill development and successful sensory modulation can only happen once a child feels completely safe and understood. By focusing heavily on building a trusting partnership with both the child and their family, I create a collaborative environment where kids feel brave enough to take on new challenges.

Outside of the clinic:
When I’m not working, I am running around after my own two small children. As a busy mom, I understand the real-world joys and challenges of parenting! To recharge my own battery, you can usually find me on the volleyball court or finding balance on my yoga mat.
