You deserve to be prioritized.

Morning coffee, snuggles with my kid, looking for my phone, and spending time with my people

daily rituals

Listening to podcasts, reading, driving to home visits, cooking, hanging with the fam + dog

YOU CAN FIND ME:

exclusion, knowing-it-all, judgement, shame, false promises, or being sleazy

I'm NOT ABOUT:

kindness, good food, great coffee, vacations, babies, humanity, live music, love and soft blankets

I BELIEVE IN:

As an early intervention therapist for over a decade, and an experienced mentor, I know the work is only ever going to be as good as the people doing it. And if those people don't feel valued - the work suffers.

You're in this because you want to do great work. I'm here because I want to help you do just that :)






Excellence is the product of continued learning, ongoing reflection, and investing in one's own development.

The mission is simple - to provide our best to children and families by first investing in the ones doing the work.

It's no great secret that this work is challenging. So why do we think doing it on our own with little support is going to lead to great outcomes?

I've been an OT for 13 years, and have practiced early intervention for that entire time I also used to work at a major university where I got to do all kinds of fun, fancy resesarchy things. If you're super nosy about that, check out my CV (curriculum vitaea) below.

Some people with my degree (OTD) like to be called “Doctor.” I do not. Please, for all things holy, just call me Katie.

These days, I own Hello Joy OT - and I'm actively working to figure out how best to serve early childhood professionals - so we feel supported, valued, and inspired to do our best work. 



Hi, friend. I'm Katie - early intervention OT and mentor.
