Learning Charms | Charlotte occupational therapy, speech therapy, Mommy and Me, and handwriting tutoring for kids!

I am the owner of Learning Charms and have been a pediatric occupational therapist since 1998.   I am certified in Interactive Metronome,  Therapeutic Listening, Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI) and have extensive assistive technology experience.   I received a bachelor's degree in psychology from Emory & Henry College, and  a master's degree in occupational therapy from Shenandoah University. I have worked with kids of all abilities aged 6 months to 21 years old in the home, school, private school, and outpatient settings.   I enjoy working with children, parents, and teachers to improve a child's success in school, sports, and home.  In addition, it brings me so much pleasure to increase a child's motivation and enjoyment of fine motor and handwriting activities. Hearing a child say "I did it!" never gets old!

My husband, Rob, and I have two children, a dog, and a sneezing cat.  I enjoy gardening, spending family time, riding bikes on the Greenway, Pinterest, making family videos, and crafts.
 

I received a degree in occupational therapy from East Carolina University ten years ago and I have been practicing in pediatrics since. I have worked with the public school system for eight years, and I have experience in private practice and early intervention as well. I live in Myers Park with my husband and my busy baby girl. I love spending time with my family, and in my free time I enjoy traveling, reading and crafts.

I have been a licensed Occupational Therapist since 2004. I have an undergraduate degree from Clemson University and a Masters in Occupational Therapy from the Medical University of South Carolina. I have worked in a variety of settings & age groups ranging from pediatrics to senior citizens. I am a certified provider of Interactive Metronome.

I enjoy doing anything outdoors, anything creative, baking, traveling, sports & spending time with friends & family. I am lucky to be able to enjoy all of these things with my 6 year old daughter & my wonderful husband!

Bio and picture coming soon

I have been a school based speech language pathologist for the past couple years. I have also had some experience working alongside a private speech and language practice.  I have been given the opportunity to work with preschool to elementary aged children, from children with autism to children with basic speech and language needs.  I enjoy watching the children make progress and they remind me to enjoy the everyday basic things in life.

I attended Eastern Michigan University for both my undergraduate and graduate speech pathology degrees. I have lived in Charlotte for the past two years and have enjoyed meeting new people and experiencing new adventures. 

I am a speech pathologist currently working for CMS at Elizabeth Traditional.  I have also worked with preschool-aged children in a private practice.  I love working with the pediatric population, and  I really enjoy helping children who have articulation delays/disorders because I like to see the difference in a child's social and emotional growth as his/her speech improves. I received my bachelor’s degree in Linguistics from UNC-Chapel Hill and my master’s degree in speech pathology from East Carolina University. When I'm not busy working, I enjoy running, playing tennis, and spending time with friends and family--especially my new nieces and nephew! 

I have been a speech-language pathologist for the past 28 years. I received my bachelor's and master's degree in Speech/Language Pathology from Central Michigan University.  The majority of my experience has been with preschool and elementary school age students with speech/language disorders.  I have also received training in the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching reading.  In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing tennis, and gardening.
