Kristi has been an Occupational Therapist for almost 20 years and started at BHPT in April 2021. She thinks getting to watch children grow and progress happen in real time is the best thing about being an OT. Kristi especially enjoys tackling sensory processing because it is so different for everyone, and coming with individualized plans for each client is a rewarding challenge when you get to see progress. Kristi loves BHPT because of our awesome team! When she isn’t at work, Kristi likes to hike and play, coach, and watch sports.

Destinee has been bringing the fun to BHPT since she became a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant two years ago! A kid at heart, Destinee loves how creative she gets to be at work as a COTA. Since no two days look alike in the OT rooms, Destinee gets to learn about and grow in all her interest areas, like the DIR-Floortime Model, motor planning, and visual-perceptual skills. Destinee loves BHPT because of the fun, happy, and collaborative atmosphere in the clinic! A lover of sour candy and her espresso machine, Destinee also loves bonding with her kiddos over video games and sports – she played volleyball for 11 years!
