I hold a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Social Welfare from Wartburg College in Waverly, IA, and an M.A. in Occupational Therapy from St. Catherine University in St. Paul, MN.

I’m trained in a variety of approaches, including Handwriting Without Tears, Keyboarding Without Tears, Bal-A-Vis-X, the SOS Approach to Feeding, and Tech Addiction/Digital Health. My special interests lie in visual-motor integration, interoception, handwriting and fine motor skills, as well as gross motor skills (brain-body integration).

I bring a blend of expertise and creativity to every session, grounded in evidence-based practices. Above all, I focus on creating a nurturing, fun, and engaging environment for kids to thrive!

When I'm not helping kids reach their goals, you’ll find me teaching dance, hitting the slopes for a ski day, traveling to new destinations, or spending quality time with my family, friends, and my cat, Mika.
