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.

Originally from Barrington, RI, I have been a resident of Wilmington and now Leland for nearly 20 years. 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. I love outdoor adventures such as hiking, camping and kayaking!

Hi! I’m Ashley. I’m originally from upstate New York and have called coastal North Carolina home for the past 13 years. While I do miss the fall foliage, nothing beats the beach!
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University at Buffalo in 2010 and have since worked in a variety of settings, including the ABA field and school-based environments. In 2025, I passed the North Carolina Board Exam and received my Speech-Language Pathology Assistant certification.
I’m passionate about working with children of all abilities and enjoy building meaningful connections that support their growth and communication across settings. I value collaborating closely with therapists, care team members, and families to provide a well-rounded approach tailored to each child’s unique needs.
In my free time, my husband and I enjoy kayaking, playing disc golf, and taking our sweet pup along as we explore local waterways. I also love spending time with friends and family.
I’m grateful to be part of a team dedicated to helping children grow, connect, and reach their full potential.

I am a North Carolina native and have lived in Wilmington for several years. I discovered the OT profession and my passion for it while studying at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Following graduation, I pursued a degree in occupational therapy and graduated in 2013.

I grew up right here in coastal Wilmington, NC! I attended Cape Fear Community College and graduated in 2025, obtaining my Occupational Therapy Assistant Degree. I always knew that no matter what career I pursued, I ultimately wanted to help others. Through occupational therapy, I know that I can truly achieve my goal of helping individuals of all abilities. I love working with all ages of all backgrounds, but my heart is fulfilled the most when working with children. I absolutely love watching the way their minds work and how they interpret the world! I am so excited to be a part of the OT Solutions therapy team!

In my free time, I love to craft, cook/bake, go on mini adventures, hang out with my pet parrot, and spend time with friends & family.

One of many great quotes by Dr. Seuss: “Don’t give up. I believe in you all. A person’s a person no matter how small.” I believe in children, parents and therapists and that together we can all make a difference!

I grew up in New Jersey and have been a resident of North Carolina for the past five years. I received my B.S. in Exercise Science from Immaculata University in Pennsylvania and my M.S. in Occupational Therapy from Lenoir-Rhyne University. Since I was 16, I knew I wanted to become an occupational therapist after witnessing the positive impact it had on my father, who suffered several strokes. My fieldwork experience in the Catawba County school system further revealed my passion for working with children. I enjoy using creativity and problem-solving skills to enhance lives and support children in reaching their fullest potential.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going for walks, and swimming at the beach. I have two cats, Fred and Trixie, who are endlessly entertaining and playful. I also follow the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. I’m very excited to begin my career as an occupational therapist and continue expanding my knowledge.
