Melissa R., MOT, OTR/L, CHT

Meet Ms. Melissa: the Toy Story fan who first joined the team as an Occupational Therapist in 2018. Ms. Melissa earned her Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from Cal State Fullerton and her Master’s in Occupational Therapy from Loma Linda University. She has completed training in Beckman Oral Motor Intervention and the SOS Approach to Feeding. In 2023, Ms. Melissa became a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT).

This Seahawks enthusiast enjoys being part of the team because she can work with children and their families to support the kiddos’ growth and independence.

Outside the clinic, you might find her at Disneyland with her son, cooking, reading, or eating sushi and tacos!
