I started my OT career in 2010 after graduating from The University of Kansas (rock chalk Jayhawk!) with a master’s in Occupational Therapy. I am a wife, a mom of 3 boys and usually trying to do multiple things at once. I have been blessed to work and learn in several different settings across the country including inpatient rehabilitation with adults and kids, outpatient kids as well as early intervention with the littlest of kids.
It was really my journey into motherhood that pushed me into nature for equal parts my own sanity as well as the rich opportunities for development I watched unfold outside. I love the cooperative and imaginative play the outside creates. I love watching my client’s mind’s grow and use the natural resources around them to learn, problem solve, experiment and work out interpersonal relationships. Taking my practice into nature provides the best opportunity for my clients to FLOURISH!
