Hi, I’m the founder and pediatric occupational therapist behind Milestones Matter Pediatric Therapy. My passion for helping children grow, achieve meaningful milestones, and build confidence in their everyday lives is what inspired me to create this clinic.

I was born and raised in South Dakota and earned my undergraduate degree from Minnesota State University, Mankato before completing graduate school at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. My family and I have proudly called the Quad Cities home for the past eight years.

I’m married to my husband, Bryce, and together we stay busy raising our four energetic boys. Our home is always full of activity with youth baseball, football, and wrestling, along with our dog, Kobe, and our bearded dragon, Charizard. When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy running, gardening, learning new hobbies, and spending quality time with my family.

Professionally, I have a special passion for working with children with neurological and developmental conditions and helping them achieve milestones that create greater independence and confidence. I believe therapy should always be engaging, interactive, and fun because children learn best when they feel connected, motivated, and supported.

I founded Milestones Matter because I saw a growing need for more accessible pediatric therapy services in our community. Too many families face long wait times and limited access to the care their children need. My goal is to help bridge that gap by providing personalized, compassionate, evidence-based therapy that supports children and families when they need it most.

I believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and I am honored to walk alongside families as they celebrate each step forward—because at Milestones Matter, every milestone matters.
