I am an occupational therapist and founder of Empowering the Best, LLC. I have over 15 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through therapy, coaching, and educational programs. Over the past decade, I have led a regional occupational therapy networking group, spoken at state-level and Midwestern professional conferences, delivered continuing education programs for therapists and educators, and provided community-based education in collaboration with teams of professionals. I have served as a clinical educator for graduate-level students for more than 10 years. I have also authored a peer-reviewed publication and appeared as a guest on a professional podcast, both experiences strengthened my commitment to bridging evidence and practical application. My work blends neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and team-based approaches to support participation, communication, routines, and learning. I combine professional expertise with a nature-based, growth-focused philosophy, guiding clients to grow through what they go through. I believe context matters, and we need support to heal and then generalize skills to our everyday lives. I bring advanced training in areas shared below and across multiple clinical domains. I believe healing and growth happen when people feel seen, supported, and understood in environments that honor their nervous system, strengths, and lived experience. I have led program development across pediatric outpatient, feeding, and neuro-vision services, and I have supported client access and clinic growth through grant writing and resource development. I also enjoy teaching and presenting practical tools that clinicians, families, and community partners can use in real life while collaborating with a diverse range of providers and professionals. Empowering the Best is expanding into an interdisciplinary collective of therapists and community professionals aligned with whole-person care. In addition to my clinical work, I have been actively involved in community partnerships for over a decade, including hosting collaborative events, volunteering with the Great Start Collaborative, serving on the City of Petoskey Tax Increment Finance Authority Committee, and supporting the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Community Foundation Grant Distribution Committee. Why Empowering the Best? I believe excellent care should be accessible, supportive, and designed to foster growth without creating stress or overwhelm for clients, families, or providers. At Empowering the Best, we focus on creating a healthy, respectful, and nurturing environment where people can heal, build skills, and thrive in their everyday lives.
