Alyssa

MSOT, OTRL – Owner & Occupational Therapist

Hi!  I’m Alyssa!  I’m an Occupational Therapist (OT), board certified and Licensed in Michigan, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, and a Master of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from Grand Valley State University.

Pediatrics has always been my passion. I have close to a decade of experience in Pediatrics, with the entirety of my professional career working in Outpatient Pediatrics supporting kiddos with:

  • Autism and developmental delays

  • Sensory integration and processing differences

  • ADHD and executive functioning difficulties

  • Dyspraxia, strength, and motor coordination challenges

  • Emotional regulation, social-emotional skills, peer engagement

  • Visual tracking, scanning, and convergence skills

  • Primitive reflex integration

My goal is to provide individualized, creative interventions to help children become more successful and independent in their everyday life. Through play and child-centered care, I strive to help children reach their full potential, all while having fun!

Fun Facts About Me:

  • I love the outdoors, hiking, hammocking, and sight-seeing. I have a goal of visiting all 63 national parks with my husband in our lifetime!

  • I am an avid gardener. I love learning new gardening techniques and expanding my knowledge each year.

  • My hobbies include knitting, cross stitching, embroidery, sewing….anything I can do with my hands!

  • I love playing board games and video games with friends. Stardew Valley and Mario Kart are my favorite!

  • I love snuggling my two kitties, Loki and Luna.

  • I am a Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, and all things Disney fan. Being a kid at heart makes my job even more enjoyable, and sharing interests with your child makes connecting and building a strong therapeutic relationship easy and fun!
