MOT, OTR/L, Director of Occupational Therapy, Occupational Therapist

Hi! I'm Danielle
After receiving my B.S. degree in child development from Texas Woman’s University in 2010, I went on to earn my M.S. in occupational therapy degree from TWU in 2012. Launching my career at Baylor University Medical Center, I began on the trauma team where I learned about the importance of meeting my patients where they are, being flexible, the resilience of the human spirit and creating triumph in the face of overwhelming obstacles. From there, I transitioned to the outpatient setting and helped establish a new Day Neuro program, a transition program that helps individuals gain their independence with the everyday skills needed to function at home, work and in the community. In 2015, I began working with clients ages 3 to 22 in public schools where I learned about modifying the curriculum and facilitating development of the knowledge and skills needed for their growth and success. In 2018, I helped launch the occupational therapy department at Synaptic Pediatric Therapies.
