Helping Kids Reach Their Potential Through Play

About Seacoast Play Works

At Seacoast Play Works, I provide Occupational Therapy (OT) services for infants, school-aged children, and teens at my clinic located at Therapy Square in Epping, NH.

 

Your child will receive engaging, individualized care in sessions that are always fun and uplifting; rarely do they know they are working on skills while they play! I am here for your child, as well as you and your family, using therapeutic interventions that look like play to support development.

​

I recently completed a 30-hour course concentrated on helping kids with ADHD, and am currently working on a certification for pediatric anxiety.

About Me

I'm a New Englander at heart, born and raised in Maine. I lived in Boston during my college and early adulthood years, and have now settled in the Seacoast New Hampshire area with my husband, two kids, dogs, and guinea pigs. In my spare time, I love baking, taking walks, going to the beach, and hanging out with my family.

I graduated cum laude from Boston University in 2003, and am registered with the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) with a license to practice in New Hampshire.

I have experience working in community-based early intervention (birth to 3 years old), schools, and outpatient pediatric therapy. I've also worked with adults in rehabilitation, skilled nursing facilities, home care settings.
