Hi, I'm Carla (she/her). I am an occupational therapist and founder of Empowering the Best, LLC, a whole-person therapy practice based in Petoskey, serving Northern Michigan in person, at home, and virtually statewide. I have over 15 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through therapy, coaching, and educational progress.

As founder, I am committed to growing and nurturing genuinely good care and health across healthcare, for the providers who deliver it as much as for the clients and families who receive it, and I invest in mind, body, energy, and biopsychosocial approaches to get there. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, supported, and understood.

My Approach

My practice is whole-person and spans all ages, infants through adults, grounded in a biopsychosocial approach that honors the biological, psychological, social, and energetic elements of every person's journey. We are never only one of these. My work blends neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, team-based care to support participation, communication, routines, and learning, and lasting change comes from skills that generalize into everyday life.

This lens is in the foundation of occupational therapy itself. Our profession began over 100 years ago, when reconstruction aides supported wounded soldiers returning from World War I, honoring body, mind, and life circumstances together. I am proud to carry that same integrated, holistic approach forward, over a century later.

My Background & Preparation

This foundation started in college, with a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Healthcare including biology, anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, a cadaver lab, and physiological psychology, followed by a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy with specialty training across all ages.

I have worked at every level of this field. I started as a rehab tech before graduate school, then built experience across the full continuum of care as a staff therapist and rehab director at a few locations early in my career, and later as a treating therapist across ICU, acute care, ER evaluations, home and community-based services, auto no-fault services, virtual school-based, and outpatient.

For 14 years I served as a contract-based therapist, collaborating closely with case managers, physicians, pediatricians, surgeons, fellow therapists across SLP, OT, PT, and mental health, teachers, aides, and ABA providers, before building a solo private practice, and eventually founding Empowering the Best as a team collective.

My training includes feeding and mealtime support through Mealtime Miseries (Dr. Elizabeth Crawson and OT Carol Elliott) and Beckman Oral Motor training completed directly with Debra Beckman, a trauma-informed creativity training bringing together OTs, mental health therapists, and art therapists, and my current work in the Functional Pelvis program with Lindsey Vestal. I built my feeding programs as true team care, alongside SLP, GI, dietary, and physician colleagues, including collaborating with Corewell Health (formerly Helen DeVos Children's Hospital) in Grand Rapids on feeding program development, so families see real change faster than waiting on a year-long intensive waitlist. I also co-developed a functional vision program while mentoring a doctoral OT student, later shared freely with providers statewide.

Solo private practice let me stay in this profession and build the foundation Empowering the Best stands on today. In those early years as staff and rehab director roles, I saw concerning patterns that left me unsure how long I could remain in the field, and I am thankful I found a way to practice that let me stay ethical and growth-minded.

I started my career finding myself isolated and overwhelmed, and I am deeply thankful for the mentors who stayed a resource so I was able to be find support, even if I had to be creative to do so.. That experience shaped a promise: I try to be the support my own career once needed, and I stay intentional about my own pace and boundaries so I can have health while caring.

I have served as a clinical educator for COTA and OTR graduate-level students for more than 10 years, authored a peer-reviewed publication, and appeared as a guest on a professional podcast. I speak at professional presentations and conferences, mentor students and fellow clinicians, and led a regional networking group during my first decade of practice, glad to pass it on to the next generation, believing every stage of a career, student to near-retirement, has something to teach the rest of us. Beyond individual mentorship, I care about building and hosting spaces, through events, presentations, and networking opportunities, where providers and clients alike can feel safe, supported, and free to keep growing.

Entrepreneurship and leadership have been part of that same throughline. I'm a proud generalist, and I've diversified, pivoted, and realigned direction more than once without losing my integrity along the way, growing from staff therapist to founder while staying, first and foremost, a thoughtful OT.

These values carry outside the clinic too, as owner and operator of Hemlock House, a short-term rental built as a space for regulation and reconnection.

Community & Collaboration

Empowering the Best has grown into an interdisciplinary collective of therapists and community professionals aligned with whole-person care, because I want you to know you can have options.

I have been actively involved in Northern Michigan community partnerships for over a decade, including the Great Start Collaborative, the City of Petoskey Tax Increment Finance Authority Committee, and the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Community Foundation Grant Distribution Committee. I also cultivate a community directory of free resources here on this website, so families and providers can find support beyond what any one practice can offer.

I'm am grateful to be in partnership with Inspiring Inner Growth, founded by Meagan Krzywosinski, a Registered Yoga Teacher, Social + Emotional Intelligence Coach, and Inspirational Speaker. Our collective provides in-person services out of the same studio space, and I personally practice my own healing through Meagan's offerings there. Outside our hours, evenings and weekends, Meagan hosts her own healing options in that space, because healing is whole person.

Why Empowering the Best?

As founder, I am dedicated to growing and nurturing care that is genuinely good, for the clients and families who receive it and for the providers who deliver it.

Excellent care should feel accessible, supportive, and genuinely good. Helping clients, families, and providers grow with ease and confidence, in a healthy, respectful, nurturing environment. I believe people heal well when they are validated, provided options, and given room for hope to be cultivated.

I've watched many dynamic, skilled, and thoughtful providers burn out and leave this profession, and I've come close myself. When I ask myself why I've built all of this, it comes back to the same thing:

I deeply value supporting people as a therapist, and I want to host a space for other providers who want to keep doing that too, without losing their own health and care along the way.

Meet Stephanie, OT

Empowering the Best is growing, and we are proud to welcome another incredible in-person occupational therapist to support our northern Michigan community.

Hi, I'm Stephanie (she/her). I hold a Doctorate of Occupational Therapy and a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Grand Valley State University, which makes me proud to say another Laker has landed at Empowering the Best.

Throughout my career as an occupational therapist, I have learned that no matter our age, our daily activities, the things we need and want to do, define who we are. That is why my practice is dedicated to helping individuals thrive at every single stage of life, from childhood through adulthood.

A large part of my heart and expertise belongs to pediatric therapy. I have spent years serving children and families across northern Michigan, including time on a school-based team. Whether we are exploring the outdoors in nature-based therapy, navigating ADHD and executive functioning, or utilizing neurodiversity-affirming autism support, my goal is to make therapy feel natural, joyful, and deeply connected.

Beyond my work with children, I have advanced clinical expertise in helping adults navigate complex physical recoveries. Life can throw unexpected challenges our way, and I am here to help you regain your independence and quality of life. In orthopedic and stroke rehabilitation, I have extensive manual training through orthopedic fellowships, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, and manual supports. As a SAEBO-certified provider, I use specialized, evidence-based techniques to help individuals rebuild strength, movement, and confidence after an injury or stroke. Navigating cancer treatment and recovery also takes a toll on the body and mind. In oncology care, I provide compassionate, holistic support to help manage fatigue, pain, and cognitive changes, ensuring you can continue participating in the moments that matter most.

My practice is whole-person, trauma-informed, and psychosocially grounded. I believe in dynamic support rooted in best practice, because life keeps you moving and care should move with it. I value nature-based, collaborative work, and I am passionate about teaching the next generation of occupational therapists.

Whether I am partnering with a parent to support their toddler, collaborating with teachers in a school, or working one-on-one with an adult reclaiming their independence, my approach is always the same: compassionate, specialized, and completely tailored to you.

Why Empowering the Best? Carla and I aligned the moment we met. I believe care should be collaborative, accessible, and built around real life, and I could not be more grateful to join a team that holds that standard for clients and providers alike.

Stephanie's Philosophy

I believe occupational therapy works best when it is dynamic, meaningful, and built around the real rhythms of each person's life. I partner with clients, families, and providers to create care that is whole-person, evidence-based, and genuinely supportive. Life keeps us moving, and I am here to help every person I serve with the same level of integrity and whole-person values I would want for myself or my family.

Hi, I'm Jenny (she/her). I am an occupational therapist with 16 years in the profession. I am overjoyed to be a part of the Empowering the Best collective, because it’s a team so dedicated to helping people access whole-person, evidence-based care.

Joining Empowering the Best feels like a full-circle moment in my professional journey. Carla and I first met in 2008 as occupational therapy graduate students at Grand Valley State University. We even partnered to complete our Master's thesis together! We later drafted that work into a manuscript that was published in a peer-reviewed journal. Nearly two decades later, that same spirit of collaboration and striving for excellence is at the core of what I bring to this collective. 

My clinical experience spans outpatient, inpatient, acute care, and inpatient rehabilitation, serving clients from pediatrics through older adulthood. Areas of focus include physical recovery and pain management, neurological rehabilitation, hand therapy, lymphedema care, and return to work. 

My work blends clinical expertise, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and whole-person care across the lifespan. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, supported, and understood. Through trainings provided by Learn Play Thrive, I have invested in learning how to provide care that is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and honors autistic and neurodivergent ways of being.

I am also passionate about teaching balance, pacing, and regulation as a core therapeutic skills. After years of a hurried pace of working with clients, I embraced the idea of creating space for connection and processing matters as much as covering all the needed topics and exercies. In truth, clients need room to regulate, integrate, and generalize what they are learning into the rhythm of their actual lives. Therapists need sustainable practice patterns to deliver quality care without burning out. Whole-person care is not only what happens in the therapy room. It is how we honor the nervous system, the schedule, and the season of life each person is in. This is the standard Empowering the Best is built to hold for our clients and our team.

Beyond my clinical work, I  run Jenny Gill Copywriting, LLC, where I serve healthcare practices, OTs, PTs, SLPs, and rehab entrepreneurs as a copywriter and marketing strategist. This led me to volunteer as Website Coordinator for the Michigan Occupational Therapy Association and presentations for the OT Entrepreneur Summit. I also support at-risk elementary-age students as a mentor and program co-director through Kids Hope USA. 

Why Empowering the Best? With it’s unique philosophy and model, I could tell Carla was building something special for clients and therapists when she launched Empowering the Best. And I wanted to be a part of it! I believe excellent care should be accessible, supportive, and built to foster growth without creating stress or overwhelm for clients, families, or providers. That is the kind of care more people deserve access to, and I am eager to help people access it through Empower the Best.

Jenny's Philosophy

I believe good therapy is steady, thoughtful, and built on real partnership. I take time to understand each client's full story, then work alongside them, their families, and their providers to create care that is evidence-based, effective, and genuinely supportive. I value honesty, clear communication, and meeting people exactly where they are. My goal is not to rush a process but to walk through it with you, using the right tools at the right time so the progress we make together translates into everyday life.

Hi, I'm Keisha (she/her). I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and mental health clinician with over 10 years of experience supporting infants, children, teens, and families across home based, school based, and outpatient settings. I earned two degrees from the University of Michigan, ultimately my Master of Social Work with a concentration in Interpersonal Practice in Mental Health, which allows me to serve as a mental health clinician. That foundation combined with over a decade of real world clinical experience shapes everything I bring to my work with clients, families, and the Empowering the Best collective.

My clinical background is deeply rooted in infant mental health, early childhood, and school based behavioral health, with extensive experience supporting children and teens through family therapy, crisis intervention, and trauma informed care. Throughout my career I have worked alongside OT, PT, SLP, educators, medical providers, and community organizations, and I bring that collaborative spirit into every professional relationship I build.

Being part of the Empowering the Best collective is rewarding because it brings together the kind of team that clients and families so often have to piece together on their own. Being part of a collaborative where OT, SLP, PT, and mental health supports are connected means clients and families can access more coordinated, cohesive care.

My work blends trauma informed, relationship based, and strengths focused approaches to support emotional regulation, coping skills, attachment, and social functioning. I am especially passionate about supporting infants, children, and teens who have experienced grief, loss, and trauma. I welcome the opportunity to support adults as well and am open to exploring fit on a case by case basis.

I hold a Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health Endorsement as an Infant Family Specialist, with extensive experience conducting assessments, diagnosing mental health disorders, and developing individualized person centered treatment plans.

Why Empowering the Best? Clients and families deserve support that is connected, cohesive, and built around their real lives. Being part of a collective that makes that possible is something I am deeply committed to.

Hi, I’m Ashley (she/her). I spent the first 13 years of my career as a Speech-Language Pathologist contracting with private practices, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies throughout mid-northern Michigan.

I prioritize evidence-based intervention that supports expressive and receptive language development, articulation and speech clarity, social communication, and functional communication across settings.

I am passionate about helping individuals increase communication skills, confidence, and self expression. I value multimodal communication systems, including verbal speech, AAC, and alternative forms of expression, so that each person has access to a communication method that supports autonomy and authentic connection.
