Stephanie received a Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from Quinnipiac University in 2004. She spent her first 5 years in practice working for a sensory integration practice in Connecticut, owned by the renowned Tara Glennon. Stephanie gained extensive experience by providing treatment for children with a range of sensory-based needs, while also organizing community events and overseeing the fieldwork program for incoming graduates.
She has since spent her 20-year career in pediatrics, pursuing numerous opportunities for continued learning, including certification as an Advanced DIR Floortime provider. She utilizes the knowledge she has gained from this framework throughout her practice. Stephanie has a long-standing passion for building trusting relationships with children and families, helping them lead meaningful lives. She places careful intention into using a combination of intuition, knowledge, and experience to guide her.
Stephanie currently resides in New Hampshire with her husband and two children, now ages 10 & 12. Each with their own unique needs, she describes them as her greatest gifts, as they have offered new perspectives as to how to better serve families. When not supporting others, Stephanie seeks solace in running, ensuring her head and heart remain aligned.
