I am a registered master’s-level Occupational Therapist with over a decade of clinical experience. I support individuals navigating complex and often unexpected challenges — including chronic illness, trauma and mental health concerns, nervous system dysregulation, physical disability, chronic pain, chronic fatigue (MECFS), neuro-based conditions, and disruptions to roles, routines, relationships, and daily functioning — to find hope, clarity, and their next step toward doing what they love.

Grounded in neuroscience and informed by lived experience with C-PTSD, MECFS and chronic inflammatory illness, my work integrates somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, brain retraining, and self-compassion. I take a coaching-informed, collaborative approach, supporting clients to set meaningful goals, pace effectively, and build sustainable routines that align with their values, capacity, and real-world demands.
