Hey! I’m Karly Smith - a licensed occupational therapist, parent coach, and, most importantly, a mom of two amazing kids. I started my journey in occupational therapy because I love helping families connect, play, and thrive together. I believe that children learn best when they feel safe, understood, and supported - and I bring that same philosophy into every session, whether it’s in-home OT or coaching with parents.
I love play - both in my work and in my everyday life. There’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing a child’s face light up when they’ve mastered a new skill, or helping parents discover small, practical ways to connect with their child. Outside of work, you can usually find me with my nose in a book, experimenting in the kitchen, or spending time with my husband, our two kids, and our goofy chocolate lab.
My approach is grounded, connection-focused, and joyful. I know parenting and supporting kids isn’t always easy, and I’m here to help families feel understood, confident, and connected with their kids, whether that’s through skill-building with a child, exploring strategies with a parent, or just celebrating the small victories that make childhood so special.
