Hi There! I'm Katie-the pediatric Occupational Therapist who uses neuroscience to help adults and kids with emotional regulation skills. I am also a wife, mom, triple dog mom, and fly-fishing enthusiast. I have been an OT for 10-years, and I have a passion for providing parents, educators and children with practical strategies for managing emotions, behaviors, and sensory needs.

 

Shortly into my career, I discovered that many of my referrals were for emotional or behavioral regulation, and sensory needs.  I knew that emotional-regulation was the place to start for these referrals, but I quickly realized that I was never taught how to regulate myself as a child. I needed more information! So I sought further education.

 

Along the way I learned that addressing my own regulation needs was the most important thing I could do to effectively help children with theirs. I learned strategies that significantly changed the way that I handle my own feelings and challenges. Finally, I was able to effectively teach kids and parents how to use these strategies in their own lives!​
