Throughout her career she has gained a great deal of experience in many other areas that affect child development, including handwriting/fine motor skills, gross motor skills, praxis, executive functioning, feeding (S.O.S Approach, www.spdstar.com), and play skills.

Her work is driven by the ability to provide support in the development of children with a wide variety of concerns including Autism, ADHD, Developmental Coordination Disorder, and Sensory Processing Disorder.

Courtney holds experience working with children on all levels of the Autism Spectrum, from children who are gifted to children who are non-verbal and have behavioral concerns.

She has also spent a large portion of her time working at a sensory integration-based clinic where she further developed her skills and passion for the occupational therapy field.

Courtney is immersed in her field where she feels passionate about getting to work with children and families experiencing difficulties. Her driving force is being able to provide insight and help to parents who may have been struggling to find the answers they needed.

By empowering parents to help their children, Courtney is able to contribute towards helping children enjoy the best quality of life they deserve while providing essential support to parents.

One of the biggest challenges facing children and parents today is when children are misunderstood or mis-labeled as being stubborn or difficult. Through Courtney’s work, she is able to provide insight into what a child’s behaviors mean and the underlying concerns impacting their development so they can enjoy being a child and play, learn and grow to the fullest.

Courtney realized there was a great need for the kind of therapy she specializes in because many children may not qualify for any of the common childhood diagnoses such as ADD and Autism but still struggle physically, socially, and/or academically. These difficulties often stem from Sensory Processing Disorder. Due to this oversight, the children tend to slip under the radar and do not receive the services they need. This is why she has dedicated her life’s work to supporting, guiding and empowering these children.

Courtney knew from as far back as high school that she wanted to affect change in this world and occupational therapy was the way in which she was going to achieve it.

Courtney spends every day working with children pouring her love, care, energy, skill, and knowledge into them; to influence and support their development.
