Hello! I’m Dee, a pediatric occupational therapist dedicated to extending therapeutic skills beyond the clinic and to the home and community to foster holistic development.
I founded BackyardOT with a deep-rooted commitment to enhancing the lives of children and adolescents through personalized occupational therapy. Drawing upon years of experience within a pediatric therapy clinic, I recognized the vital importance and need for the delivery of therapy in the roles and routines of one’s home and community. By embracing the unique dynamics of these natural environments, I can tailor our approach to the specific needs of each client and their families, unrestricted by insurance limitations. My focus is on discovering the most effective and individualized solutions for every child and teen we serve.
Working closely with families to create a holistic approach is something I highly value. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or child development enthusiast, together we can nurture the potential in every child.
FUN FACT: I was a camp counselor at a leadership camp whilst in college, where I led middle-schoolers through archery, canoeing, backpacking, and hiking in the backcountry of Wyoming for the summer.
