For Healthcare Providers

Whole-person, evidence-based care that extends beyond traditional therapy.

Thank you for considering me as a referral partner. My goal is to provide individualized, evidence-based care that helps people participate more fully in everyday life while building sustainable habits that support long-term health and well-being

Who I Work With

My Approach

My practice integrates occupational therapy, occupational science, lifestyle medicine, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and movement to address not only immediate functional goals but also the daily habits and routines that influence long-term health.

When to Refer

Many patients need more than periodic medical visits or traditional rehabilitation. They need support translating recommendations into sustainable habits, routines, and everyday actions.

My role is to bridge that gap by helping patients apply evidence-based strategies within the context of their daily lives. Through occupational therapy, lifestyle medicine, mindfulness, and movement, I provide individualized care that complements the treatment you already provide.

Patients may benefit when they:

  • Need additional support beyond insurance-covered therapy

  • Have completed traditional rehabilitation but continue to struggle with daily routines

  • Would benefit from individualized lifestyle or health behavior change support

  • Prefer personalized, one-on-one care in their home or virtually

  • Need caregiver education

  • Are seeking prevention and wellness services

  • Are motivated to take an active role in improving their health and well-being
