Pine Tree OT

12/16/2025

I made something I wanted to wear myself.

As an OT—I talk every day about honoring nervous systems instead of fixing people. About unlearning compliance. About letting kids (and adults) exist as they are.

I couldn’t find apparel that reflected that and felt like home, so I made it.

🌲Maine-rooted.
♾️Neurodivergent-affirming.
💙For the moms, OTs, SLPs, PTs, and teachers who get it.

No pressure. Just sharing in case it resonates

I’m thrilled to share something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time. 🌲💛
These designs are inspired by Maine, nature, and the way neurodiversity adds beauty and depth to our world. Nature reminds us that everything grows differently—and that’s what makes it extraordinary.

If you’d like to order, there’s still time to get your items before Christmas!
Thank you for supporting local and lifting up the work I love so much. 💚

Nine years ago today, I lost my brother to su***de. He was 16. He was autistic, deeply loved, and struggling with depression.

I’m sharing this because his story should never be invisible — and because so many autistic and ADHD youth face mental-health challenges that go unnoticed.

Research shows that:
• Over 70% of autistic adolescents have at least one co-occurring mental-health condition
• 20% experience anxiety
• 11% experience depression
• Autistic teens with ADHD have even higher risks of anxiety and depression

These numbers aren’t small. They’re not rare.
And they represent real people — like my brother — who deserved understanding, support, and safety.

Today, I honor his memory by raising awareness.
By encouraging families, professionals, and communities to look closer, to check in, and to listen without judgment.

If you are neurodivergent and you’re struggling: you’re not alone, you’re not “too much,” and you deserve care.

If this message reaches even one person who needs it, sharing his story is worth it.
❤️

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the day!! If you have any sensory items, parenting books, fidgets, noise cancelling headphones (or you’re unsure if it relates but want to donate it) please message me!!

🌿 Regulation Resource Network is preparing for our very first swap, share, trade event!

We’re starting to collect gently used sensory tools, fidgets, weighted items, visual supports, adaptive seating, and other regulation resources to build our starting donation pile for the first Swap & Share Event 💚

If you have items your child has outgrown or that didn’t quite work for them — this is a beautiful way to pass them along to another family who might benefit.

🎁 Accepting:
• Fidgets, chewies, and calming tools
• Sensory bins, balance toys, or body socks
• Weighted or compression items
• Visual timers, charts, or picture supports
• Books about emotions, regulation, or neurodiversity

📍Drop-off options: (add your location or message me for pickup!)
🕊️ Everything donated will go right back into our local neurodivergent community.

Let’s make sure every family has access to the tools that help their children feel safe, calm, and connected.

💌 Comment below or message me if you’d like to donate — or if you’d like to help sort and organize!

No child chooses the soil they’re born into.
But we can all choose whether to look away… or reach out.
🌾💛 Let’s teach our kids what compassion in action looks like — one meal, one kind act, one helping hand at a time.

I am so excited to announce I am starting a new community service called Regulation Resource Network please visit this page to learn more! Feel free to give it a follow and share to spread the word!

I can’t wait to help foster community within the neurodivergent parents in the greater Bangor area, and to help children find the regulation tools they need without financial burden.

Share this page with a parent who may find this service helpful and let’s get started!

When decisions shape Maine’s future, they should include every Mainer — from the mountains to the coast, and every ability in between. 🌲⚖️
