Meet the Team

  • Founder & Occupational Therapist

    Thank you for visiting my page! As the founder of Stacked Therapies, I want to welcome you to our family. I am a proud veteran, wife, mother of three energetic boys, and a therapist who found her passion in pediatrics.

    My journey began when I served as a Hospital Corpsman in the United States Navy from 2011 to 2016, providing care across various settings in unique locations. As my family grew, so did my education. I earned a Bachelor of Exercise Science from Old Dominion University in Virginia, where I developed a love for biomechanics and human physiology. This passion led me to pursue a career in occupational therapy, culminating in a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Mount Mary University in the summer of 2023.

    After working at Lakeland School in Elkhorn, I founded Stacked Therapies in March 2024 to pursue my passion further.

    I enjoy clinical challenges and am dedicated to finding functional solutions for children and their families. My experience includes working with a wide range of children facing neuromuscular challenges, sensory processing disorders, primitive reflex integration, self-regulation, dynamic movement techniques, gross and fine motor difficulties, and visual/vestibular integration.

    My vision for Stacked Therapies is to create a workplace filled with exceptional therapists across Southeastern Wisconsin, each bringing a variety of skill sets to serve our children. I believe every child has a unique gift or strength, and it takes a special therapist to see the light and ignite the fire!

  • Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant

    As soon as I learned what occupational therapy was, I was intrigued. I knew right away I wanted to be a part of this essential profession and work closely with children. I earned my Associate Degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant from Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton in 2014. After graduation, I moved to the Milwaukee area and gained experience in a variety of settings, with most recently providing services to preschool-aged children in the school environment.

    My experience includes addressing a range of developmental needs, such as fine motor skills, sensory processing, visual motor integration, bilateral coordination, pre-writing and handwriting skills, social-emotional regulation and self-care. I’m honored to bring therapeutic plans to life through play, creativity, and trust. I enjoy using a child-led, play-based approach to motivate and engage children in individualized sessions. I also believe in the power of the parent-child relationship and use a relationship-centered approach to work collaboratively with families. My goal is always to provide practical, fun, and easy-to-implement interventions that support lasting outcomes.

    Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, beach days at Lake Michigan, thrifting, and spending time with family and friends. I’m also a proud mom of three boys who keep me very busy! I’m excited to be a part of Stacked Therapies and to support the littlest members of our community as they grow into their full potential!


  • Occupational Therapist

    I have always loved working with children. My journey started in middle school when I volunteered and worked with children as a babysitter, at the Racine Zoo’s education department, the children’s hospital, and various other programs. When I observed occupational therapy, specifically at the children’s hospital during my freshman year, I knew it was the path I wanted to pursue. Focusing on functional goals and client-centered care to address what matters most to the individual and family holds incredible value and variety.

    I attended Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where I earned my Bachelor of Clinical and Applied Health Science and my Doctorate of Occupational Therapy. My experience at Drake included pediatrics, residential care for medically complex adults, and nature-based therapy. Upon graduation, I worked as the staff OT at a summer camp for children with disabilities and in outpatient pediatrics. My experience covers a wide range of diagnoses and involves addressing fine and gross motor skills, vision, neuromuscular challenges, sensory processing, emotional regulation, executive function, self-care skills, and interoception/body awareness.

    I am passionate about the role interoception plays in body awareness, emotional regulation, and sensory processing, as well as addressing attention, memory, and executive function. I have specialized training as a Powerfully You provider for self-regulation and Astronaut Training to address vestibular processing. My hobbies include gardening, kayaking, and camping, and I love being outdoors.

    I am committed to bringing high-quality services to families, and I believe that providing services in the child’s natural environment enhances the impact for both the child and the family. I am excited to join Stacked Therapies to specialize and serve more families who value the impact of nature on development. Nature acts as a natural facilitator of therapy, encouraging curiosity, providing natural challenges, and igniting motivation to take on new experiences.

  • Speech-Language Pathologist

    I grew up in Southeastern Wisconsin and have always been passionate about learning and helping others. As a child, I volunteered with Girl Scouts, my church youth group, and as a physical education helper for disabled peers at my high school. These experiences inspired me to pursue a career that combines my love for children, education, language, and science.

    I earned my bachelor’s degree in Communicative Disorders from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and combined my love of children, education, language, and science, completing my Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2010.

    From 2010 to 2012, I worked as a speech therapist for children aged 0-3 in Jefferson, Dodge, and Rock counties. In 2012, I joined the United States Peace Corps as an education volunteer in rural South Africa, where I taught English and literacy to school-age children. When I returned to the U.S., I transitioned into research, studying the educational strengths of low-income students and children experiencing homelessness. I continued my studies at Georgia State University, where I finished my doctoral candidate in Education for Exceptional Children in 2020.

    During my doctoral studies, I worked in language, literacy, and early childhood education research labs, taught university courses, and served as a speech therapist in public schools. In late 2019, I returned home to Wisconsin and became a stay-at-home parent, homeschooling my two young children before they entered local schools.

    In my community, I have served on the Burlington Area School District school board, coached recreational children’s soccer, helped tend the community garden supporting the Love Inc. food pantry, and co-founded a nonprofit raising funds for local public education. I currently serve as the Board Clerk of the BASD Foundation.

    I am excited to be part of Stacked Therapies and look forward to working with children and families to help them grow into their best selves!
