I’m an occupational therapist (OT) serving patients ages birth to 21 who have a wide range of developmental disabilities. Some of the conditions I work with include sensory processing challenges, autism, cerebral palsy, coordination difficulties, down syndrome, developmental delays, feeding difficulties and fine motor delays.

I have worked for many years with the Special Olympics and Developmental Disabilities Center in my hometown. It was through my work there that I discovered occupational therapy. Thus, I have made it a life goal to continue through my work to create equal opportunities and independence for all.

My care philosophy is based on transforming my environment through dedicated leadership, hard work and a positive mindset. I advocate for individuals to have the opportunity to participate in meaningful and equitable activities and build lasting relationships with families and patients to promote growth in their personal lives and in the city in which I live.

I’m honored to be a member of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and to be named a Cincinnati Children’s Occupational Therapy Fellow (2023).

When not working, I’m an outdoors girl! I love everything involving nature and adventure. I enjoy trail running, biking, swimming, kayaking, playing with my golden retriever, traveling with my husband, and reading a book in a cozy corner.
