Driven by a passion for working with children and a curiosity about mental health, I discovered behavior therapy. With more than
5 years of certified training as a behavior therapist, I provided parent education, encouraged natural environment learning,
and worked with children of all ages in schools, community settings, and in-home settings.
 

After obtaining my Master's, I focused on further developing training by procuring a job at St. Vincent Peyton Manning
Children’s Hospital. This position allowed me to be trained and to work in both pediatric outpatient and inpatient settings,
with great mentorship.
 

Looking to further develop my skills, I pursued a personal dream and moved to the coast of South Carolina to join a dynamic team
of speech-language, occupational, and physical therapists at Now We’re Talking Therapy. While there, my enthusiasm and love
for multidisciplinary outpatient therapy within the clinic, community, and home settings intensified! Being able to assist families directly and improve quality of life with a holistic approach was beyond rewarding.
 

After two years of living the lowcountry life, I moved back home to Indiana to be with my family and explored positions where
my unique skill set of combining mental health and occupational therapy allowed me to grow.
 

All my education, experiences, and training have solidified my passion for pediatric Occupational Therapy. Working full-time in
the field since 2019, my training has included a variety of feeding therapies, reflex integration, extensive sensory-motor integration techniques, mindfulness-based emotional regulation, Zones of Regulation, Superflex Thinking, and behavior therapy,
preparing me to assist all ages and diagnoses with confidence and competence.
 

I am so excited to share my energy, positivity, humor, compassion, patience, and knowledge with all of the families I serve!
A homebody at heart, when I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with my boyfriend or snuggling my spoiled, lionhead bunny, Lenard (Lenny), and even more spoiled Morkie-poo, Louis (Louie). I enjoy spending time with my parents, my sister, my brother, my three nephews, and my one niece. When not with family, I enjoy time with friends, being active with walks, pilates, and yoga, cooking, exploring local wineries and breweries, and listening to music.
