About me

My name is Chelsea and I am the owner of Growing Forward Therapy. I am a registered and licensed occupational therapist (OT) and specialize in infant and pediatric therapy. I received my undergraduate and master's degree from the University of North Dakota. I grew up in a small town in Minnesota and moved to Arizona in 2014 with my husband. Since then I have practiced in an outpatient pediatric clinic, home health, public and charter schools and an inpatient rehabilitation hospital. 

After my daughter was born in 2018, I began seeing a large gap in support for babies, moms and families in development and the many life changes that come with having little ones. That is when Growing Forward Therapy was born!  I look forward to supporting you and your family in living life to its fullest.
