Carey is an occupational therapist specialized in working with children in the school system. She is particularly passionate about sensory processing integration and working to improve their fine and gross motor skills. She loves seeing them conquer each new milestone and goal as they grow to become more comfortable in the world around them.
Carey received her national board certification in 2018 after earning her Master’s in Occupational Therapy from California State University, Dominguez Hills. Before going back to school for her OT degree, she worked as a behavior interventionist in both school and home settings for nine years. She has worked with children of all age ranges and with a wide range of needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, ADHD, developmental disorders, and other health impairments.
Carey is passionate and enthusiastic about play-based and data-driven occupational therapy treatments. Her philosophy for working with her clients is to make each session so engaging, silly, and fun that they don’t realize they are working on skills that are currently challenging for them.
In addition to her Master’s in Occupational Therapy, Carey has also received additional training in the Size Matters Handwriting Program, Handwriting Without Tears, Sensory Regulation and Yoga tools, keyboarding, and assistive technology.
