Why did you decide to become an OT? I became an occupational therapist because I’ve always been drawn to helping others in meaningful, practical ways—and I deeply value the platinum rule: treating others how they wish to be treated. Early intervention, in particular, felt like a natural fit for me. I love working alongside families during such a foundational time in their child’s life, helping them build skills and routines that bring more ease, confidence, and connection to their everyday experiences. I’m a creative and empathetic problem-solver, and I find joy in collaborating with caregivers to find individualized, realistic strategies that make a real difference in a child’s growth and participation.

What is your OT superpower? My OT superpower is my ability to recognize the unique strengths of each child and family, and to turn everyday routines into opportunities for growth and connection. I specialize in meeting families where they are—emotionally, culturally, and practically—and creating individualized, evidence-based strategies that truly fit into their lives. I bring a calm, creative presence and a deep respect for each family’s values, helping them feel confident, supported, and empowered as they navigate their child’s development.

What do you like to do for fun? Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two fur babies. My hobbies include playing board, card, and video games, riding motorcycles, and exploring unique places and events in my community. I also love traveling and I am always looking forward to my next adventure!

What do you love about TeamUp Therapy? What I love about this company is how genuinely welcomed and valued I’ve felt from the very beginning. Even before my official start, I felt connected to the leadership team and knew this was a place where I could truly belong. As I went through the onboarding process, I fell in love—every detail reflected thoughtfulness, transparency, and deep care for both the families we serve and the staff who make it all happen. It’s rare to find a company so aligned with your own values, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of a team that leads with heart.

Areas of interest: My primary area of interest is early intervention. I also enjoy helping children build handwriting and other coordination skills. While not my top area of interest, I have extensive experience and strong skills in sensory regulation and feeding support. I also appreciate opportunities to work with children with physical disabilities and would welcome more experience in that area.
