I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant with more than five years of dedicated experience working in the field.

I am a certified Occupational Therapist with over four years of experience dedicated to helping kids shine and reach their full potential. My work in pediatric therapy is driven by a genuine passion for supporting children as they navigate their developmental journey and tackle any challenges that come their way. With specialized training and hands-on experience across many domains in child development, sensory integration, motor skills, and adaptive techniques, I’ve learned how to make therapy both effective and fun! I love using a playful, child-centered approach that blends evidence-based methods with fun activities to create a positive and engaging experience for every child. Creating a warm, nurturing environment where kids feel safe and excited to explore is at the core of my practice. I truly believe in building strong, supportive relationships with both the children I work with and their families. By collaborating closely with parents, caregivers, and the education team, I develop personalized therapy plans that cater to each child’s unique needs and goals, all while making progress a joyful adventure.

Fun Fact: My journey to becoming an Occupational Therapist was deeply inspired by my amazing aunt, who had Down Syndrome.'

I am a dedicated occupational therapist working with children from preschool age through high school. I thrive on creating a fun and structured session where your child feels comfortable and can advance their skills through play. Watching your child grow, build confidence in their skills, and have fun is one of my favorite parts of my job. What I love about OT is that there is endless potential for creativity and novel activities. I strive to help your child become as independent as possible in their skill set and help them be as successful as possible in school! Outside of OT, you can find me playing volleyball, spending time with my family and friends, or in my favorite place, the beach.

Fun Fact: I played NCAA Volleyball and currently coach a high school girls varsity volleyball team!

My name is Maggie and I am one of the Occupational Therapists at Listening Partners. I am a thoughtful and spirited clinician who aims to provide a safe and fun environment for individuals to not only gain skills but also confidence in their abilities. I enjoy working with students of all ages. Some of my favorite therapeutic activities include board games as it not only promotes fine motor and/or visual motor skills but enhances play skills, which is the child’s primary function.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my red Labrador Retriever. I also enjoy learning new recipes and reading books.

Fun Fact about me is that I read all of the Harry Potter books!

COTA

I have been working as a COTA since 2018, and have worked with students ranging in age from birth to 21 years old. Building a relationship with my students and their families brings me so much joy! My favorite part of the job is seeing growth in each child I work with and learning all about what excites my students. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new cities, and exercising. 

Fun fact: I have been skydiving and had a pet hedgehog.

I chose occupational therapy because I love the holistic and meaningful approach to it. You look at a person as a whole and consider what's truly important to them and get to use their interests as motivation as well as the goal. I enjoy working in pediatrics because every child is so unique and each session is so individualized. I take pride in creating a safe and fun environment for them to grow, and I love to see them gain skills and build confidence in their abilities. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, and reading a good book outside. 

Fun fact: I was born on the 4th of July and I get to spend every birthday watching fireworks

I love working with children and using my skills to make a difference. I enjoy being creative and having fun in a learning environment.

I have over 10 years of experience as an occupational therapy assistant mostly with the geriatric population. I am now a registered occupational therapist journeying through the pediatric world and exploring a different facet of occupational therapy that has become very dear to my heart. I love the fact that occupational therapy is very versatile and flexible to the needs of my clients. Also, I love spending quality time with my family cruising around to different countries.

I started as an occupational therapist in a neuro-robotic clinic and quickly realized my true passion was working in pediatrics. I transitioned to the world of peds and never looked back! I strive to provide an environment where kids can thrive, learn, and grow. Every child has potential and can strive to meet their goals with hard work. 

My favorite thing to do in my spare time is to go on hikes, garden, and spend time with family and friends!

I have been an Occupational Therapist for over 7 years and have loved every second of it! I've worked in a variety of settings with children 6 months through middle school age, including a special education preschool in the Bronx, home care in NYC, and most recently a private practice specializing in sensory integration here in Westchester. I take pride in developing strong relationships with each child and their family and tailoring interventions to their individual needs. I look at each child as an opportunity to learn and grow right alongside them and am excited to be part of the team here! When I'm not working you can find me drinking iced coffee and playing with my 6 year old rescue dog Baxter and my 11 month old son!

Fun fact: I lived in Ghana and Tanzania for 7 months and volunteered at rural orphanages! It's where my love for OT began!
