Chelsea earned her Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Eastern Kentucky University in 2014. She began her career with Kraska & Associates, specializing in pediatric occupational therapy. To deepen her expertise in early childhood and preschool settings, Chelsea also worked at the Child Development Centers of the Bluegrass, where she developed a passion for interdisciplinary collaboration and the transformative power of play.
 

In 2015, Chelsea moved to Raleigh, N.C., where she gained further experience at a pediatric private practice, focusing on sensory integration, self-regulation, dyspraxia, and play-based therapy. She has advanced training in DIR Floortime, Safe & Sound Protocol, Therapeutic Listening, Astronaut Training, Interactive Metronome, Social Thinking, and Sensory Integration.
 

Chelsea returned to Kentucky in 2020 and rejoined Kraska & Associates, where she continues to connect with children and families through play and meaningful engagement. She values collaboration with families as a cornerstone of therapy and takes pride in supporting each child’s progress.
 

Outside of work, Chelsea enjoys spending time with her husband, son, and two dogs. She loves being outdoors, taking walks, and boating at the lake.
