What is Occupational Therapy?
a behavioral healthcare profession that helps you navigate your life
Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on helping people build the foundational skills they need to participate in and enjoy daily activities. OT takes a holistic approach, supporting your sensory, cognitive, physical, social, and emotional systems to improve function, performance, and satisfaction in everyday life.
An occupational therapist works with you to identify your strengths, evaluate your current routines and activities, and develop practical strategies to overcome challenges. This empowers you to build a meaningful life that reflects your goals, values, and priorities.
Some skills aren’t always taught in school, and it can be helpful to problem-solve with someone who understands. OT bridges that gap with personalized, action-oriented support to help you navigate life with greater confidence and intention.
How We’ll Work Together
-
Decoding Symptoms
Receive personalized guidance to understand, adapt, and manage your behaviors, habits, and preferences- helping you navigate daily life more effectively.
-
Mastering the Power of Doing
Build practical skills in planning, organization, adaptability, and motivation- so you can confidently tackle tasks and get things done.

Developing Self-Awareness
Gain insight into your habits, patterns, and preferences to strengthen self-confidence and support personal growth.
We don’t just talk about change- we take action.
You’ll engage directly in meaningful activities that mirror real-life tasks, helping you practice skills in the moment rather than only discussing them. This hands-on approach allows you to build confidence, learn by doing, and see immediate results.
I assess your performance skills to increase activity optimization and guide our time together, ensuring each session is tailored to your unique needs. I draw from a variety of frameworks, intervention strategies, and evidence-based approaches to analyze tasks, break down challenges, and develop practical solutions.
Together, we explore strategies, build skills, and practice them in real-life contexts, making every session purposeful, practical, and personalized. By the end, you’ll have actionable tools to navigate your life with greater confidence, efficiency, and intention.

What to Expect
Great! You booked your first session, now what?
-
After completing a 15-minute consultation, a thorough intake assessment and evaluation will be conducted in your first, 50-minute session. This is to ensure that your goals, values, and strengths are discussed in order to steer which direction your individualized plan is going to go.
Sessions typically include open conversations about your life experiences, actions, behaviors, thoughts, and emotional states. Active engagement in tasks is also likely to occur.
As your therapist, I will offer guidance, support, and evidence-based techniques to help you navigate challenges and achieve your goals.
Sessions are designed to be confidential. Your privacy is top priority by ethical and legal standards. Exceptions may apply if statements or expressions of harm or legal requirements prompt reporting (this will be discussed in further detail at the beginning of your initial session).
-
Depending on how often you’d like to meet, you can establish a weekly, recurring time slot or simply book sessions as you go. Rebooking as you go will be self-determined.
-
I understand that life happens, and some things are just out of our control or foresight. Please reach out either by phone or email to allow for a 24 hour cancellation or rescheduling notice and avoid a full session fee. If cancellation or rescheduling occurs within 24 hours leading up to the originally scheduled session, you will be charged a full session rate.
