I discovered a love for working with kids over the years through babysitting, camp counseling, and teaching skiing to kids with disabilities.  I have worked for nearly 25 years in the field of OT, in a wide range of settings, including private pediatric clinics, hospital outpatient clinics, and private and public schools. I currently work full-time with Indianapolis Public Schools.  I have vast experience working with kids with sensory processing disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and other developmental delays.  In addition, I have received advanced training in Learning Without Tears, the Sequential Oral Sensory approach to feeding, sensory integration, and emotional behavioral disorders.  I am a registered yoga teacher and have additional training as a kids yoga teacher.

​

I am so excited to work with children and their families at One Mind! I appreciate the holistic and collaborative approach to the setting, and I enjoy helping to problem-solve and to find just the right activities and ideas to incorporate into daily routines in the home environment.

 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my high school and college-aged daughters,  in deep heart-led conversations with friends, practicing meditation, breath work, journaling, running, spending time in the woods with my dogs, nature photography, adventurous off-the-beaten-path travel, leading women’s circles, and offering Reiki to kids, adults, and pets.
