Hi! I'm Kerrie Ann.
For nearly 20 years, I've had the privilege of working with children and families through some of life's biggest challenges and sweetest milestones.
As a pediatric occupational therapist, feeding specialist, lactation consultant, and infant massage instructor, I bring a blend of clinical expertise, evidence-based practice, and real-world strategies to every family I serve. But more than anything, I believe in building relationships. I want families to feel heard, supported, and confident as we work together toward their goals.
Occupational therapy helps children develop the skills they need to participate in everyday life. For children, that may mean eating, playing, learning, sleeping, getting dressed, connecting with others, or participating in family routines. When something is getting in the way of those experiences, occupational therapy can help.
My goal is simple: to meet families where they are, celebrate each child's unique strengths, and provide practical support that fits naturally into everyday life. Together, we'll create meaningful opportunities for growth while helping your child build the skills they need to thrive.
