“…YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW AMAZING YOU CAN BE.”

Some individuals have neurological variations that make it more challenging for them to communicate, express themselves, and interact with others in a way that is expected in our current societal norms.

 

Does this sound like you?

 

  • You were diagnosed with autism.

  • You wonder if you're on the autism spectrum.

  • You find it hard to concentrate, focus, or think at work.

  • You feel like you don’t “fit in” or “belong”.

  • Dating or being in a relationship is hard for you

  • You’re easily overwhelmed in busy, loud, or new environments.

  • Social cues and body language are confusing to you.

  • You find peace in repetition and predictability.

  • You feel comfortable with routines and clear rules.

ADULT OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

As an Occupational Therapist (OT), I can help you understand and navigate the social, psychological, and environmental components of everyday life. We can address sensory processing, self-regulation, social participation, and coordination skills.

We often utilize activities that challenge and improve executive functioning skills such as working memory, flexible thinking, self-discipline, initiating tasks, emotional control, perspective taking, planning, and prioritizing.

Together we will tailor a unique treatment plan specific to your needs and goals so that over time you will have the necessary resources to thrive at work, in relationships, and in daily life.

 

As an Autistic OT, I welcome sharing my experiences and challenges and can empathize and relate with the struggles, frustration, and anxiety experienced as a neurodivergent person, parent, partner, and professional.
