Hi, I’m Melissa, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a pediatric occupational therapist born and raised in Florida. I created Melissa & Me OT with a passion for helping children grow through connection, play, and meaningful everyday experiences.

I work with infants, toddlers, and children with developmental delays, neuromotor differences, sensory processing, handwriting challenges, and a variety of developmental differences.

I have 17 years of experience working in outpatient, inpatient rehab, acute care, and school-based settings, which allows me to bring a well-rounded perspective to each child’s care.

Outside of work, you can find me spending time with my husband, Cody, and our two dogs. I enjoy listening to audiobooks and music and crafting.

At Melissa & Me OT, my goal is to help children build confidence, independence, and skills that carry into everyday life—while keeping therapy engaging, supportive, and fun.
