  • Owner/Founder and Clinician

    Hi, I’m Samantha! I manage the behind-the-scenes operations of the practice, but my true passion is working directly with children and families to help them grow and succeed!

    I enjoy walks along the lakefront, baking yummy treats and reading!

  • Senior Occupational Therapist

    Hi, I’m Nikki! I have many years of outpatient experience and love working with the pediatric population! I joined Lakeside SPOT after returning from a 6-month adventure in Paris where I grew in my French language skills.

    Utilizing my creativity to tailor my sessions to each child’s interest and building relationships with my clients and their families is where my true passion lies. Witnessing each child progress is why I love what I do!

  • Senior Occupational Therapist

    Hi, I'm Bianca! I have experience working with children in Early Intervention, school based services, and outpatient pediatrics, along with a background in mental health that has strengthened my understanding of emotional regulation and the importance of supporting the whole child.

    I love watching children gain confidence as they learn new skills and enjoy working closely with families to help support their growth both in therapy and at home.

    When I'm not working, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, spending time outdoors, reading, and cheering on the Buffalo Bills!

  • Senior Occupational Therapist

    Hi, I’m Charlotte!  I’m passionate about helping children and adolescents build confidence, independence, and meaningful life skills through individualized, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming care. I have experience supporting children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, developmental delays, and learning disabilities.

    I take a collaborative, child-led approach, partnering with families and support teams to develop practical strategies that promote emotional regulation, executive functioning, sensory processing, self-care, and participation in everyday routines.
