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. I'm here for you and your child, and understand that a child's development impacts the whole family.

 

My goal is to work on what is important to you, whether that's helping with behavioral concerns, increasing your child's independence, helping learn to identify emotions and tools to help a child self-regulate, or anything else that "occupies" their day (that's why we're called occupational therapists!).

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 Exeter, 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.
