We all need support through the most important period of our children's lives: the early years
Originally from Baton Rouge (Geaux Tigers!), I now call CENLA home with my husband Bruce, our two kids, and two furry companions. I hold a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology and Health Promotion from Louisiana Tech, along with an Associate’s and Master’s in Occupational Therapy.
As a board-certified Occupational Therapist with 10 years of experience across a variety of settings—from pediatrics to intensive care—I’m also proud to be a Level III Louisiana Pathways Instructor.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve CENLA.
Let’s GEAUX!
Our Story
Pediatric Therapy to Geaux began with a simple conversation with our daycare director. While discussing a technique I used to help my own child sleep better, she shared how valuable it would be for her staff to understand these strategies. That moment sparked a meaningful collaboration—combining my experience as a Board Certified Occupational Therapist with her background in early childhood education.
As a Level III Louisiana Pathways Instructor, I’m passionate about bringing healthcare principles into early learning settings. I work alongside teachers and aides to create developmentally supportive environments, blending clinical insight with practical classroom strategies to help every child thrive.
Our Vision
To create a world where every child is empowered to reach their fullest potential—at home, in the classroom, and in the community—through accessible, engaging, and evidence-based pediatric therapy.
Our Mission
At Pediatric Therapy to Geaux, our mission is to deliver personalized pediatric therapy services and resources that meet children where they are—literally and developmentally. We equip parents, educators, and caregivers with practical tools to support motor, sensory, and emotional development through in-home visits, classroom collaboration, and community engagement. With creativity, compassion, and clinical expertise, we make therapy mobile, meaningful, and fun.
