Empowering Independence: Mental Health OT for Young Adults.

Guiding and Supporting Young Adults Through Life Transitions and Autonomy Challenges.

You are capable, let’s unlock your potential.

As a mental health occupational therapist, I bring a unique blend of skills and approaches to support young adults who are navigating the complexities of life transitions and seeking greater independence. My focus goes beyond addressing mental health challenges; I also help individuals develop the practical skills and emotional resilience they need to thrive in adulthood.

Holistic Approach to Growth.

Occupational therapy is inherently holistic, meaning I consider the full spectrum of your needs—emotional, cognitive, social, and practical. Whether you’re facing anxiety about the future, struggling to find motivation, or feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you, my approach is tailored to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore how your mental health, daily routines, and life roles interact, identifying the barriers that may be holding you back and creating a plan that aligns with your goals.

  • Practical Skills for Daily Living

    One of the key aspects of my support is helping you build the practical life skills necessary for independent living. This can include time management, financial literacy, self-care routines, or even cooking and cleaning. By breaking down these tasks into manageable steps, I guide you in creating sustainable habits that empower you to take control of your daily life. These skills aren’t just about functioning; they’re about fostering a sense of competence and confidence that fuels your growth.

  • Emotional Resilience and Self-Regulation

    Navigating life transitions often involves managing stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. I incorporate evidence-based strategies to help you build emotional resilience and develop effective self-regulation techniques. This might involve mindfulness practices, sensory-based interventions, or cognitive-behavioral techniques tailored to your unique needs. By addressing both your emotional and practical challenges, we create a strong foundation for long-term success.

  • Collaborative Goal Setting

    Your goals are at the heart of our work together. Whether you’re aiming to pursue higher education, find meaningful employment, or simply feel more in control of your life, we’ll create a personalized plan to achieve those outcomes. My role is to guide, support, and empower you as you work toward your aspirations, providing the tools and strategies you need to overcome obstacles along the way.

  • Sustainable Independence

    The ultimate aim of our work together is to help you achieve sustainable independence. This means not only equipping you with the skills to manage daily life but also ensuring you have the emotional resilience to handle future challenges. You’ll leave our sessions with a toolkit of strategies and a deeper understanding of yourself, ready to take on the next chapter of your life with confidence.
