I have been in practice since receiving a Masters Degree in Physical Therapy from Hahnemann University in 1994. My work has focused on motor learning and motor development in children. I feel privileged to have published articles in the Pediatric Physical Therapy Journal regarding fetal alcohol syndrome and cerebral palsy. I completed my Internship at Georgetown University Child Development Center and worked as a senior pediatric therapist at United Cerebral Palsy before starting my own practice in Westchester. The drive behind opening a pediatric center is seeing how motivated the kids get when receiving “therapy” in places other than their homes, one they view as fun places. Developmental Steps is that “Fun” Place. I love helping kids find a way to “Do” something through a strategy, practice, or making it plain old fun. Playing with my 2 kids, going on bike rides or hikes with my wife and 2 dogs, skiing in Vermont and going to Montauk is how I fill my free time when not at home in Katonah, NY.

Through my work over the years, I have had experience with a variety of diagnoses including developmental delay, autism, torticollis, down syndrome, and neurological injuries. I approach a child in a holistic manner, taking the time to learn how they interact and develop to address their physical needs in an appropriate way.  What works for one child may not work for another and I have the patience and flexibility to deal with challenging situations.  I have worked in sensory gyms, clinics, and home care with children as young as one week old. Engaging a child’s natural inclination to play has shown to develop their physical, mental, and social abilities.  I currently live in Warwick, NY with my husband, son, and giant puppy.
