MEET OUR TEAM
JENNA SNYDER, MS, OTR/L
Owner/Occupational Therapist
​
I'm so glad you are here! I have been helping children and families learn and grow since 2000, starting with my adventures as a hippotherapy volunteer and behavior technician. I received my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Occupational Therapy from Brenau University in 2012.
​
Shortly after graduating I began my career working in the school system (Pre-K through High School) for both Cherokee and Fulton Counties. I also have experience in the clinical setting, having worked in several different private clinics since 2013.
​
I live in Cumming, GA with my fiancee Josh, our daughter Maddy, and our two beautiful dogs, Ruby and Stella.
​
​In early 2019 I decided to put to use the things I have learned over my career and open my own practice to provide more thorough support to families.
​
Before I was an OT I was involved with ABA. At the end of my degree program I learned about the DIR/Floortime method and it changed my entire practice. I have spent every day since trying to help families learn alternatives to ABA for their children.
At Focus on Function our goal is to support your family's journey no matter what it looks like. I am passionate about raising our children in the most trauma-free, emotionally-healthy way we can.
I am looking forward to finding out how I can help your family!
CAYLA WOODBURN, MS, OTR/L
Occupational Therapist - Woodstock
Hello! I grew up in the metro Atlanta area, and I currently live in Cherokee County. I received my Bachelors and Masters degrees at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am passionate about occupational therapy, and I love working alongside children and their families to promote meaningful and functional lives.
My interests include primitive reflex integration, environmental modifications, sensory integration, and occupational adaptations.
When I’m not working, I enjoy sipping on an iced coffee, traveling, spending time with my family and boyfriend, playing with my dogs, and cheering on Xavier basketball.
I look forward to assisting you, your child, and your family through this occupational therapy journey.
Katelyn Warren, MS, OTR/L
Occupational Therapist - Alpharetta & Cumming
Hi! I grew up in the Roswell area and made my way up to Cumming several years ago. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Georgia and my Master’s in Occupational Therapy from Brenau University. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working across a variety of OT settings—including hospitals, home health, pediatrics, and mental health. I also continue to serve as a clinical adjunct at Brenau University mentoring graduate-level students in occupational therapy practice. Over the past few years, I’ve found my way back to my passion of working with children and families—and now I’m thrilled to be part of the team at FOF!
I bring a strong background in trauma and attachment to my work, having completed a three-year certification in Somatic Experiencing and a two year attachment training in Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experience (DARe). I’m also actively engaged in DIR/Floortime training to better support the role that social and emotional development play in our lives. I’m deeply curious about the “why” behind the behaviors and symptoms we see, and I believe that understanding the nervous system, attachment patterns, and sensory integration is key to truly knowing and supporting our kids (and ourselves!).
When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me recharging in my backyard and at home with my husband, two dogs, two cats, and five chickens. I’m an aspiring homesteader on a journey to grow my own food, sew, and embrace a more hands-on lifestyle. I’m also a lifelong learner—always studying something new—so feel free to ask me what I’m currently diving into!
Loren Kline, BS, COTA/L
Occupational Therapist - Cumming
I’m a COTA with a bachelor’s in Exercise Science and an associate’s in Occupational Therapy, and I’ve spent my career working in pediatrics and geriatrics across home health, early intervention, outpatient clinics, ABA programs, and skilled nursing. I’ve worked with a wide range of kids, especially autistic children, and I love figuring out what makes each child light up. I’m always learning, always curious, and currently exploring additional training in DIR/Floortime, feeding, and facial work.
Creativity is a huge part of how I connect with kids. I love turning simple, everyday ideas into therapy activities that actually feel fun and meaningful. My problem-solving brain kicks in fast, and I enjoy breaking skills down, adapting materials, and helping kids build independence in ways that fit their real lives. Talking with families, brainstorming solutions, and being genuinely helpful is the heart of my work.
Outside of sessions, I’m a wife and mom to a lively six-year-old, a crafter who can turn anything into a project, and someone on a personal wellness journey who’s finally stepping into herself. I love learning, making things, and finding little pockets of joy throughout the day. No matter where I am, I’m showing up with creativity, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart.
