Shannon is a seasoned pediatric occupational therapist with over 30 years of experience helping children thrive. She earned her degree from Towson University and has dedicated her career to providing compassionate, hands-on care across a variety of pediatric settings—including hospitals, private practice clinics, schools, and homes.

Shannon specializes in working with infants, toddlers, and young children up to age 10, supporting those with a wide range of needs such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder, neuromotor challenges, fine motor delays, sensory processing difficulties, executive functioning limitations, and developmental delays. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based, client-centered practices that engage children through fun and functional activities.

Collaboration is a cornerstone of Shannon’s work. She partners closely with families, teachers, and other professionals—often observing children in home and school environments—to develop personalized sensory diets, promote effective communication, and support the carryover of newly acquired skills across settings.

Shannon is certified in both The Listening Program and the Astronaut Training Program. She has also received extensive training in sensory integration, neurodevelopmental approaches for infants, and Handwriting Without Tears.

In addition to providing evaluations, consultations, mentoring, and weekly treatment sessions, Shannon plays a key role in coordinating therapy schedules—matching each child’s needs with the therapist whose skills and experience are the best fit.

When she’s not working with families, Shannon enjoys life in Maryland with her husband and their four adult sons. In her free time, she loves playing pickleball, hiking, and cooking.
