I grew up in Upstate New York and received my BS in Biology from Plattsburgh State University.  I learned about Occupational Therapy through volunteer work and  I realized this was the field where I could combine science with creativity and the ability to contribute to the lives of others.  I went back to college and received my BS in Occupational Therapy from Keuka College in 1997.

I moved to Wilmington that year and feel grateful to live in such a beautiful and opportune area. I have worked with OT Solutions since 2007 and am proud to be a part of such a talented, caring team of Therapists.  I have two teenage boys and we enjoy doing all kinds of outdoor activities that take advantage of this beautiful coastal region.

I graduated from University of Rhode Island in 1996 with a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology.  I have always worked in Pediatrics and have a special interest in working with children on the Autism Spectrum.  I feel fortunate to work for a company that values all families and children and provides an atmosphere of teamwork in providing the most specialized care in the area.  I strive not to get children to relate “typically”, but to enter their world and create a bond that encourages communication across settings.

I am trained in DIR/Floortime, The Hanen Program, TEACCH model, Picture Exchange Communication, Apraxia treatment programs, auditory processing as well as sign language. I have been married to my husband Chris for 10 years and enjoy traveling, camping and spending time with our 4 grown children and 5 grand babies.
