About me

I have worked as an occupational therapist since 1995. I have twenty-three years of experience working with kids within homes, schools, children’s treatment centres, and private clinic settings. I offer virtual occupational therapy to school-aged kids across Ontario, Canada. I offer in-person occupational therapy for kids in the South End of Guelph. I love being an occupational therapist. I use my keen observation skills to analyze, break down barriers and find ways for kids to print, cursive write, type, and use Read Write Google. 

 

I graduated from McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario) with a Bachelor of Health Science degree in Occupational Therapy in 1995, and with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Psychology in 1990. I am registered with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario (COTO).

 

Being creative, I enjoy customizing individual therapy sessions to best fit the strengths and needs of each child. I am very curious and like to “connect the dots” through on-going learning. For me, “a day without learning would be like a day without sunshine”. I am an avid reader and often have many professional and personal books “on the go”. 

​

As a cancer survivor of eighteen years, I have a zest for life and promoting the health and well-being of Ontarians. I strive to achieve a work-life balance which includes doing yoga, playing the piano, walking my dog, making something new from something old, riding my bike with my husband, and watching a good movie with my family.

I am excited to help find ways to make written output easier for your child!
