Real-Life Results.
Services Provided
My mission is to help you, your child, or your loved one live, learn, and participate more fully—whether that means feeling safe and independent at home, succeeding at school, or navigating the everyday challenges of life.
With experience in both school-based and private-practice occupational therapy, I provide personalized evaluation, treatment planning, hands-on care, and practical solutions for individuals ages 2 and up. Whether I’m working with a child developing the skills they need to learn and participate at school, or an adult looking to remain safe and independent at home, my goal is always the same: to understand the whole person and create meaningful, individualized solutions that fit real life.
Whether you’re nearby or supporting a loved one from a distance, I provide expert guidance and compassionate care. Simple recommendations and thoughtful changes can make a big difference.
I do this by:
-
Listening first and getting to know the person, not just the problem
-
Creating individualized treatment plans based on meaningful goals
-
Helping children build the skills they need to learn, grow, and participate
-
Helping adults maintain safety, confidence, and independence
-
Finding practical solutions that work in the real world
-
Looking beyond the obvious to uncover opportunities for greater independence
-
Collaborating with families, caregivers, educators, and other professionals
-
Believing that sometimes the smallest change can make the biggest difference
Adult & Home-Based Occupational Therapy
Adult Neuro-Rehabilitation
Support for individuals navigating changes following a neurological event or condition. Treatment focuses on rebuilding skills, developing new strategies, and maximizing independence in everyday activities.
Home Safety & Accessibility
A thorough look at how you move and function within your home, with practical recommendations to improve safety, reduce fall risk, and make everyday routines easier. Sometimes a small change can make a very big difference.
Self-Care & Home Management
Support with the everyday activities that help you live independently—including dressing, bathing, meal preparation, household tasks, medication routines, and other daily responsibilities.
Cognitive & Executive Function Training
Individualized strategies to support memory, attention, organization, problem-solving, planning, and other cognitive skills needed to manage everyday life more successfull.
Pediatric & School-Based Occupational Therapy
Play-Based Skill Development
For children, play is one of the most meaningful ways to learn. I use purposeful, engaging activities and play to help children develop the skills they need to participate more successfully at home, at school, and in their everyday lives.
Areas of focus may include:
Fine Motor Skills — Developing the hand skills needed for writing, cutting, manipulating objects, and classroom tasks
Visual Motor Skills — Strengthening the connection between what a child sees and how they use their hands to respond
Visual Perceptual Skills — Supporting skills such as spatial awareness, visual discrimination, and understanding how objects relate to one another
Executive Functioning — Building skills for planning, organizing, initiating, sequencing, and completing tasks
Self-Regulation — Helping children recognize and manage their bodies, emotions, attention, and responses so they can participate and learn more successfully
My goal is not simply to work on a skill—it’s to help each child use that skill in the moments that matter to them.

Assessing environmental risks for fall prevention
My son had a devastating stroke almost 3 years ago. Prior to working with Becky, he wasn't progressing as much as he wanted. Especially toward his goal of becoming more independent. Becky has helped him progress the areas of self-care, strength, mobility and cognition."
"In addition to being highly competent, she is incredibly emotionally supportive and professional. I highly recommend Becky to anyone who is looking for a therapist who looks at the whole person."
