Morning coffee with my husband, reading with my daughter, a walk around the block with the dog, and forgetting where I put my phone.

daily rituals

Working with families, creating for Hello Joy OT, making dinner, and hanging with my family.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Hubris, blowhards, know-it-alls, unnecessary meetings, cheesy tv, or junk science.

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Integrity, strong coffee, good writing, data, and cutting out the ‘meh’ to make room for the very best

I BELIEVE IN:

There are plenty of people who claim to be experts. We don’t need another one — and you don’t need to be one either. What we don’t have enough of are people brave enough to say, “I don’t know.”

Because the truth is, this work is messy. Kids don’t always make progress on our timeline. Parents can be complicated. And every day, we face situations no one ever taught us how to handle in school.

But here’s the deal: excellence doesn’t come from certainty. It comes from collaboration, curiosity, and the courage to question the status quo when it isn’t working — so we can create something better.

I've never been the one with all the answers, and that's ok with me. My superpower comes from listening, making connections, and asking the questions that invite growth.

I've always called myself a "grown-up" OT. I love working with children, but I really love working with the people who love those children. It's made early intervention a perfect fit for me - because working with parents is my very favorite. 

Over the years. I've also fallen in love with providers. Our work is hard, friend - and too often there's so much on our shoulders, and it can feel like we need to know it all.
