Carrie has been practicing as an occupational therapist since 2016. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Health Science and her Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Florida. After graduation she moved to Austin. She has worked with a wide range of diagnoses in pediatrics in outpatient care, home health, and school visits. Carrie strives to use a neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based approach in her practice. Her passion for pediatrics led her early in her career to seek out opportunities to become an expert in pediatric needs, for the child and the family.
