How can OT help me?

Every human has a unique set of values, beliefs, and personal practices that define the way they would like to show up in the world. There is interplay between their unique habits, roles, routines, and rituals, valued occupations, and the skills and strategies they need to get them done. As an OT, I have the skills to look at the whole person within the context of meaningful occupation. My approach is client-led and quite collaborative. 

Taking that understanding of each client as an individual, an OT practitioner collaborates to optimize comfortable, more efficient daily function. Starting with an occupational profile, occupational therapy’s unique framework is the perfect starting point to help clients meet their personal goals. If you are a formally or self-diagnosed neurodivergent teen, adult, or family, the OT lens can help you make connections within yourself, integrate them into daily engagement, and expand your well being and well doing.

My Approach

My approach is highly individualized and looks different for everyone. It begins with a thorough intake that explores your comfort and success with the occupations of life, as well as foundational factors such as sensory processing and executive function, and of course, your goals! If you would like more information about what occupational therapy might look like for you, get in touch to schedule a free 30-minute consultation call!
