  • 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 4 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!
