I grew a passion for the mental health field while pursuing my undergraduate degree, which led me to complete my Master’s in Occupational Therapy at Queen’s University. After completing my degree, I knew I wanted to work in a pediatric setting. I have loved working with children and continue to be inspired by their resiliency, playfulness, and ability to find joy in the simple things.
I currently work at On the Ball Pediatric Physio and Occupational Therapy where we focus on the brain and body connection by helping children to regulate their nervous systems, to feel safe and connected, and supporting their physical, psychological, emotional and social development. As OTs, we work on achieving individualized goals that are meaningful to children and their families and ensuring their environment supports their engagement in activities at school, home, and in the community.
I am excited to be working alongside the amazing OTs and psychotherapists at OCATT!
