My passion is being able to help children navigate their world by learning through play using easily accessible and inexpensive items (I love the Dollar Store!) or out in nature. By creating safe and meaningful therapeutic activities while thinking "out of the box" helps keep it fun and engaging! I strive to help children become more independent in all areas of their life, from Preschool to High School, and transition skills into the community. Lets put the "Fun" in "Function" together!

I call myself the 'triple threat'! As a pediatric OT, mom of a little boy with autism, and sibling of a brother with disability, I am passionate about helping families navigting the complex landscape of special education and disability services. I bring my unique perspectives sitting on both sides of the table to help families with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), providing treatment, and conducting evaluations.

I am a mom of children with Autism and other special needs, and I’ve been advocating for them for over 18 years. I’ve learned a lot through this journey, and I’d like to share what I have learned with you. There’s a lot of new languages to learn, a lot of specialists and therapists that you’ll encounter, so many meetings to attend (IEPs, IFSPs, etc.), and a lot of other medical conditions that can go along with Autism. It can be overwhelming to navigate all of this – and you don’t get an instruction manual with your special needs child that tells you what steps you need to take and when. That’s where I can help!

Helping ALL Children READ to EXCEED I am passionate about helping all children to read to exceed! I have developed a proprietary method of teaching reading to all children at all reading levels. We believe all children have the right and ability to learn to read. My program, Stretch & Catch® specializes in teaching reading at each child's instructional level from preschool through middle school, including children with dyslexia, learning disabilities, autism, selective mutism, down syndrome, as well as children who are gifted and everyone in-between.

We are pediatric occupational and physical therapists helping kids build strong bodies and minds through play! We are passionate about sharing ideas and information with parents and professionals to help them navigate common developmental issues that come up for kids. We work with therapists, teachers, and parents all over the world to support healthy development in their kids.
