About

I began my occupational therapy journey in 1985 and have worked in a variety of physical disabilities settings over the past 35 years. Twenty-one of those years were spent teaching a variety of occupational therapy courses at the University of New England in Maine. I retired from teaching and returned to the clinic full-time in 2011 working in acute, in-patient rehab, and outpatent settings. I have formally retired (again 😉) in January of 2022 but continue to work on an “as needed” basis.
