About

Occupational therapy can help in so many areas. When struggling with distressing mental health symptoms, it may still be hard to function despite being in talk therapy & taking your medications. You may need help with daily functioning, life balance, routine, enjoying activities, & exploring new ones. Areas my clients struggle with include self-care, showering, eating, emotion regulation, leisure & hobbies, sensory processing, sleep, work, & school. I work with ages 14+ who struggle with symptoms related to autistic burnout, anxiety, depression/bipolar, BPD, PTSD, ADHD. I place an emphasis on neuroaffirming, strengths-based care. As an occupational therapist, experiential therapist, & coach, I work to validate experiences, develop goals, ID strengths, & rehab meaningful skills & activities. I provide coaching, strategies, & insights to help you get your functioning back & develop your ability to self-regulate. I offer nonjudgmental, compassionate, and professional care.
