Hi, I'm Shannon.

I'm an occupational therapist with diverse experience spanning early intervention, school-based practice, pediatric feeding, and adult home health care. Across all of it, one thread holds steady: I've worked alongside children, families, educators, and caregivers to support meaningful participation in everyday life.

My approach centers on collaboration, strengths-based problem solving, and the belief that every person deserves opportunities to participate in the activities that matter most to them. I don't arrive with a one-size-fits-all program — I arrive ready to listen, observe, and build something that fits your family.

Meaningful participation doesn't happen by accident. It grows from a strong foundation.

That's the heart of Root + Rise: we tend the roots — regulation, sensory-motor foundations, and skills — so children and families can rise into autonomy, confidence, and growth.
