I graduated from Marquette University with a bachelor’s degree in Theology. I continued my education at Washington University in St. Louis Medical School where I earned my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. I have worked in many areas in the Occupational Therapy world, but always come back to pediatrics as my one true love. While working in the neonatal intensive care unit, I learned many skills including craniosacral therapy in addition to infant massage and feeding therapy. My drive to help infants is a true passion of mine!
I have been an Occupational Therapist for 23 years and have learned many things along the way. I was trained at Beames CST Training Center and earned the qualification of Craniosacral Therapist (CST) and Infant Craniosacral Therapist (ICST). I also am certified in Neonatal Touch and Massage Therapy (NTMTC). I have advanced practice certification in the areas Physical Agent/Modalities, Hand Therapy, and Swallowing Assessment, Evaluation or Intervention from Occupational Therapy Board of California. Additionally, I am a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist (I & II).
Outside of work, I have been happily married to my husband Craig for 26 years and we have 3 teenage boys. I love to bake, camp and spend time with our two dogs, Bailey and Ozzy.
