ABOUT ME
Laura Gertz, OTR/L
Hi there! I’m Laura Gertz, and I’ve been an Occupational Therapist since 2016. I’m passionate about making a positive impact in children’s lives and supporting their families along the way. Whether in hospitals, outpatient clinics, or schools, I’ve had the privilege of working with kiddos of all ages and abilities, helping them develop essential daily skills, tackle challenges, and overcome obstacles with a smile.
I truly believe in the power of collaboration, especially when it comes to teaming up with both children and their families. Together, we can create meaningful goals and activities that’ll help your child thrive and make everyday experiences more fun, fulfilling, and stress-free.
Let’s work together to make life just a little easier (and a lot more enjoyable) for your family!
