🌊💗 Meet the Team: Erica, OTD, OTR/L, MT-BC 💗🌊
Hi, I’m Erica!
I’m an occupational therapist and board-certified music therapist, practicing OT since 2010 and music therapy since 2006. I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, and I love helping people discover what they can do. 💙
I’m especially passionate about sensory processing and integration, motor development, self-regulation, and supporting neurodivergent individuals. My approach is strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming, and focused on meeting each person where they are. I also love bringing music, rhythm, movement, creativity, and PLAY into therapy to make it more meaningful and motivating. 🎶✨
And then there’s WATER. 💦💧
I grew up swimming competitively and sailing, worked as a lifeguard, and later coached Special Olympics swimming. These days, I still love swimming and paddleboarding, so combining my love of the water with my love of OT through aquatic therapy feels like the perfect fit.
I’m continually inspired by what the water can make possible—from making movement feel more accessible to challenging strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness. And perhaps most importantly…the pool is FUN! Sometimes the water gives someone the confidence to try something they never thought they could do on land. Those “Wait…I DID that!” moments are my favorite. 🥹🩵
When I’m not working, I’m usually chasing around my two kids, hiking with my doodles 🐶🐶, getting outside, or looking for our next adventure.
I’m so excited to bring my love of people, music, movement, play, and water to Ocean of Change and help each client discover their own strengths—one splash at a time! 💦
We’re so excited to have Erica as part of the Ocean of Change family! 💗🌊
