Mental health support

As an occupational therapist, I approach my work with compassion, trauma-informed care, and a deep respect for neurodiversity. I understand that each person’s path is distinct, and I customize my services accordingly. Here are some areas in which I may provide support:

  • Coping Strategies: Together, we’ll develop personalized coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, mood fluctuations, and pain symptoms. These techniques empower you to navigate life’s challenges with resilience.

  • Sensory Exploration: Understanding your sensory needs is essential for self-regulation. We’ll explore sensory experiences and create strategies to enhance self-awareness, self-control, and co-regulation.

  • Individualized Activity Planning: Establishing a daily routine that aligns with your goals and promotes wellness is crucial. Whether it’s structuring your day for productivity, self-care, or leisure, I’ll work with you to create a tailored plan.

  • Assertive Communication Training: Effective communication is vital for healthy relationships. I’ll equip you with practical communication strategies, including boundary-setting and navigating interactions with friends, family, employers, or healthcare providers.

  • Fatigue and Energy Management: Fatigue can impact daily functioning significantly. We’ll explore energy conservation techniques, pacing, and restorative practices to optimize your energy levels.

  • Sleep Hygiene: Quality sleep directly affects mental and physical health. I’ll guide you in developing healthy sleep habits, addressing insomnia, and improving overall sleep hygiene.

  • Exposure Therapy: For individuals facing anxiety or specific phobias, exposure therapy can be transformative. Gradually approaching feared situations builds resilience and reduces distress.

  • Therapeutic Listening Program (Safe and Sound Protocol): This specialized program, known as the Safe and Sound Protocol, supports auditory processing and regulation. Through carefully selected music, we’ll promote nervous system balance and overall well-being.

Remember, you’re not alone on this journey. Let’s collaborate to enhance your well-being and empower you to lead a fulfilling life!
