Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Desirae earned both her Bachelor's and Master’s degrees in Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University with a specialty in pediatrics. She made the move to South Florida during a clinical rotation and fell in love with the area—and the amazing families she serves.

​

With a passion for working with children of all abilities, Desirae brings diverse experience across medical, school-based, in-home, and outpatient clinic settings. She is trained in the AEIOU approach to pediatric feeding and is dedicated to creating supportive, engaging environments where children can thrive.

​

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, their pup Loki, and their mischievous cat, Grinch. Whether it's hanging with family and friends or binge-watching the latest Netflix hit, Desirae values connection, laughter, and celebrating every small win.
