I am here to help you

As a Licensed Mental Health Occupational Therapist , I offer individual therapy to help you meet your goals. I will listen to you, challenge you, and support you so that you can experience the growth and change you’ve been looking for.

As a therapist, I take a very holistic and collaborative approach. Together we will focus on helping you learn how to think differently, redesign your routines to optimize wellbeing, and equip you with the tools and coping skills needed to reduce and manage your anxiety.

What Makes My Approach Unique

  • I'm very present & future focused

    Though your past has shaped parts of you, my role as a mental health occupational therapist is to empower you to center yourself in the present moment while envisioning and striving for the future you desire

  • We will work on routine design and management

    Routine design and management are vital for anxiety management, offering stability and predictability. Incorporating activities like exercise, limited social media usage, and nutritious meals into your routine can further support anxiety reduction by fostering overall well-being and stress resilience.

  • The healing is in the 'doing'

    When it comes to anxiety management, the path to true relief lies in action. As a mental health occupational therapist, I advocate for the power of engagement in meaningful activities. By actively participating in occupations that hold personal value, you not only take control of your anxiety but also embark on a journey of self-healing and empowerment.

  • I'm a holistic practitioner

    I take a holistic approach to anxiety management, considering every facet of my clients' lives. I delve into their personal preferences, daily activities, responsibilities, and the environments they inhabit. By addressing the interconnectedness of these factors, I empower individuals to achieve comprehensive well-being and cultivate resilience in their journey towards anxiety management.
