Allison has always felt that she should do something she loves as her job every day- she found that in occupational therapy. She obtained her BA in Recreational Therapy from California State University, Long Beach and her Doctorate of Occupational Therapy from Creighton University. Prior to becoming an OT, Allison was a recreational therapist in various settings including adaptive sports, psych, and neuro rehab. As she was leaving the Los Angeles area she was introduced to NAPA and admired their innovative research-based practices. Allison was able to volunteer at NAPA Denver a few years later and fell in love with their community. As a former water polo player and recreational therapist, Allison believes in play based, client centered practice. She is passionate about neuro-rehab and loves to bring silliness, smiles, and fun to every session. When Allison’s not at NAPA, you may find her hiking, playing sports, traveling, or cooking/baking yummy foods!
