About me

My name is Adriana Stapella, and I am a pediatric occupational therapist. I am passionate about helping young children reach their full potential. I enjoy supporting, educating, and empowering parents, teachers, and therapists in every aspect of children’s developmental success. My education includes a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees of Science of Occupational Therapy from Mount Mary University, Milwaukee, WI. I have practiced exclusively in pediatrics for over 15 years in Chicagoland, and now for the past several years in Phoenix, AZ. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and two children, hiking, traveling, camping, and blogging.
