About

Hey there, I’m Carrie.

I am a graduate of the Medical College of Georgia Occupational Therapy program (c/o 1996) and Boston University’s Post Professional Occupational Therapy Doctorate program (c/o 2021).

I started my career in adult neuro-rehabilitation, but soon transitioned to pediatric practice. I have worked in a variety of pediatric settings in Georgia, New York, South Carolina, and Colorado.

I am a faculty member at the STAR Institute for Sensory Processing in Centennial, CO. My unique contribution is creating and hosting a podcast called “Making Sense” which is produced by The STAR Institute. You can listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/making-sense/id1559608909

My professional passions include: 

  • Sensory Processing and Integration (sensory health)
  • Evidence-based practice (knowledge to practice translation)
  • Caregiver and Family Education
  • Occupational Therapy Practitioner Education on topics related to sensory health
  • Collaboration with others who are passionate about sensory health

I am a wife and mother of 4 children (and a Golden Retriever). Most days you can find me planning the family’s next meal or driving to sports and activities. People often refer to me as organized and creative, but what I value most is paying attention to what matters to other people. By doing this, I have worked to develop a unique offering – lived experience and practical tips for real life application.

I read everyday and am always looking forward to my next trip to visit family in GA.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here.

Meet Carrie

I am a Doctor of Occupational Therapy with 25 years of experience. My professional passions include sensory health and wellness, evidence-based practice, and parent/caregiver education. As a wife and mother of 4 children, I offer compassionate care and place a high value on real life application.
