Occupational Therapist

Addie is a licensed Occupational Therapist who earned her Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a minor in Psychology from Indiana University Bloomington and her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Indiana University South Bend.

Addie is passionate about supporting children and their families through play-based, client-centered care that promotes meaningful participation in daily routines. Her clinical experience includes outpatient pediatrics, early intervention, school-based services, and daycare settings. In each setting, she has collaborated closely with caregivers to develop individualized goals and implement evidence-based interventions targeting sensory processing, fine motor skills, self-regulation, executive functioning, and independence in daily activities.

In addition to pediatrics, Addie has experience in mental health, hand therapy, and orthopedics. This diverse background strengthens her understanding of emotional regulation, upper extremity development, and biomechanics, allowing her to approach each child’s needs with thoughtful clinical reasoning and a well-rounded perspective.

Addie values being part of a collaborative team and is committed to advocating for the children and families she serves. She strives to ensure therapy feels supportive, empowering, and functional within everyday life.

Outside of work, Addie enjoys spending time outdoors, being with friends and family, and trying new recipes in the kitchen.
