I am a native of Roanoke and have 25 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist in various settings, in clinical and leadership roles. My mission is to provide the best care for my patients through lifelong learning and compassionate care, and to lead by example.  Over the years I have earned needed specialty certifications, as I am committed to advancing my professional growth for maximizing patient success. I recently transitioned back to pediatric therapy due to a love of working with children and desire to provide the needed therapy services to kids in our community. My expertise and experience allow me to offer special interventions to children with differences related to developmental delay, feeding, postural stability, sensory-processing, strength, coordination, behaviors and self-regulation. Dedicated to excellence, I am goal-driven and passionate about developing personalized treatment approaches for positive outcomes and best quality of life for my patients.
