OTD, OTR/L

Role:

Occupational Therapist

Year I joined CPT:

2023

Favorite thing about CPT:

At CPT, the child truly comes first. Each treatment is shaped to meet the needs of your child, while challenging them to achieve new skills.

Favorite intervention area:

My favorite area is sensory interventions. Everything from swings, crash pads, body rolling, texture aversion, etc.

Why occupational therapy?

I chose OT because of the individualistic nature and holistic qualities. I love meeting each child where they are, considering all their needs, and crafting interventions that increase their independence within their home, school and community.

Outside of CPT:

My whole family currently resides in Southern Illinois. I have a niece that is the star of the show! My fiancé lives in Evansville, and we love to do anything active! Our favorites include going to the gym, hiking, biking and trying all the best brunch spots.

What I wish more people knew about occupational therapy:

We treat more than hands and shoulders and we don’t just pinch clothes pins all day!
