Hi, we’re Stephanie and Brianne! As graduates of Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati, we’re proud to serve the community that shaped us. With over 10 years of experience working with toddlers and school-aged children, we specialize in holistic, play-based care that supports not just the child, but the entire family. Our passion lies in helping children develop executive functioning skills, build independence, and gain the confidence they need to thrive in everyday life.

BUILD began as a dream intertwined with family. After a decade of working with children in hospital and school settings, Stephanie found herself at a crossroads, craving a healthier balance between motherhood and her passion for working with kids. With a flourishing side hustle of private clients, she realized the potential: why not turn this into her full-time job? Why not share her expertise with families across the city that’s always been home? With unwavering support from her husband and loved ones, she took the leap, and BUILD was born.

Enter Brianne, whose experience in the school setting, coupled with her desire to spend more time with her preemie son, ignited a newfound focus on occupational needs. Their collaboration felt like fate. Two passionate therapists, two moms, and one shared vision to equip families with the tools and confidence to support their child’s development through play.

Together, we created BUILD to bridge the gap between therapy and real life, making occupational therapy approachable, effective, and family-centered. Thank you for trusting us to be part of your child’s journey, we’re so excited to support your family!
