A Note From Jenn
Hi, I’m Jenn! And I know both sides of the therapy table.
I’m a pediatric OT and a parent, which means I’ve been covered in goldfish crumbs while writing evals and I’ve rocked my own children through meltdowns. I created Growing in Play because I wanted a place that could hold both clinical expertise and real-world parenting - where families could feel seen, supported, and empowered to help their children thrive.
