MS, OTR/L

Role:

Occupational Therapist

Year I joined CPT:

2024

Favorite thing about CPT:

I am super excited to work with each child and collaborate with families to create the best plan of care. Everyone at CPT is very supportive, which makes the environment fun!

Favorite intervention area:

My favorite area of practice is sensory integration. I love working with all of the different kinds of sensory tools to help children learn to regulate!

Why occupational therapy?

I chose occupational therapy because I always knew I wanted to go into the medical field. In high school I shadowed an OT, and I absolutely loved it. Helping others achieve their goals is so rewarding!

Outside of CPT:

My husband and I enjoy traveling together and spoiling our dog, Louie. In my free time, I also enjoy shopping, watching movies, going to the gym, and spending time with friends and family.

What I wish more people knew about occupational therapy:

I wish others knew just how much occupational therapy can address! OT truly is such a unique and holistic field focused on helping others engage in occupations that are most meaningful to them.
