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
Services
Evidence-based occupational therapy focused on helping adults improve independence, participation, and quality of life through personalized interventions that address daily activities, home environments, habits, and long-term health. Services are available in-home and via telehealth when appropriate.
Coaching for individuals navigating life transitions, building healthier routines, or seeking greater alignment between their health, values, and everyday lives. Drawing from occupational science, lifestyle medicine, and behavior change, sessions focus on sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term well-being.
Individualized yoga sessions integrating movement, breath, and mindfulness to improve mobility, balance, body awareness, stress management, and overall well-being. Sessions are tailored to each individual's goals, abilities, and experience level.
