About Niki

I am a licensed pediatric occupational therapist with extensive experience working with children across various settings including outpatient, school, inpatient, and telehealth environments. My approach to therapy is grounded in a strengths-based, relational framework, and I prioritize collaboration with families through a holistic lens.

My passion lies in assisting families in fostering their children's independence in sensory processing, activities of daily living, visual and motor development, and play skills. With specialized training in feeding therapy, primitive reflexes, understanding the neuroscience behind challenging behaviors, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, I aim to provide comprehensive and tailored care.

My mission is to offer individualized support that empowers families to thrive and enhance their quality of life. I believe in cultivating a nurturing environment where children feel encouraged to play, explore, and flourish.

Outside of helping families

Other interests.

Outside of work, I love to hike and camp with my husband and our dog, Olive. I greatly enjoy watching and playing sports, as this was a significant part of my childhood. Recently, I have begun making sourdough bread (yum!) and enjoy sharing new recipes with loved ones.

Kinspire allows me to connect and build relationships with families in their natural environment. It is a unique and beneficial opportunity to enrich daily routines in real time.
