What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) is a regulated health profession with a broad scope of practice. We take a holistic treatment approach, considering all aspects of a person, their environment and occupations. An occupation is anything that occupies your time. These are things you want or need to do to care for yourself (self-care), keep busy (productivity), and have fun (leisure). We believe occupation impacts health and well-being, helps bring structure and meaning to our lives, and are a unique experience for each person.
Common symptoms OTs treat include:
- Anxiety, worry, and stress;
- Depression, sadness and grief;
- Low energy and fatigue- Brain "fog";
- Persistent pain;
- Burn out and overwhelm;
- Sensory dysregulation;
- Loss of routine and structure; and/or,
- Disconnection from values.

Initial Occupational Therapy Assessment & Treatment
During our first session, I will work to create a safe space where you can openly share challenges, needs, and goals. I'll ask you questions about your symptoms and current functioning and together we will create an individualized care plan that works for you.
Occupational Therapy Treatmen
**After an initial assessment, OT Treatment sessions may be booked.** Sessions will be based on either the care plan created during your initial session or whatever is on your heart and mind that day. I'm flexible and want you to get the most out of our session together so that you will leave feeling more clarity, balance, insight, compassion and equipped with the tools you need to support your mental health and wellbeing. I use a combination of treatment approaches which include: ACT, CBT, habit and routine exploration and adaptation, graded exposure, pacing and activity modifications, exploration of sensory preferences and nervous system support, mindfulness techniques, self-compassion, and more.
