Reflecting on your life and wondering, “What now?” Do you feel stuck, or are you experiencing a life transition that is challenging to adapt to? We all have goals that matter to us, and many factors influence our ability to achieve them. Engaging in meaningful activities positively affects our health. So, I'm here to help you get back on track by offering mental health occupational therapy. What does that mean? A goal-oriented form of therapy that enables you to spend time on things that matter, like social relationships (dating, romantic, family, friends/colleagues), leisure pursuits, employment, schooling, self-care, and more.
I help you by understanding your goals for how you'd like your life to be to maximize your wellness. I then help you understand the block to accomplishing your goals. We then treat the block using therapeutic approaches like CBT, DBT, A.R.T, environmental modifications or more. Finally, we will work on developing skills to achieve your goals.
Whether you're transitioning to university, into the workforce, or a different job/retirement or maybe life threw you a curve ball and left you wondering what the future holds. I'm here to help you figure out what those next steps can look like and make a plan to get there. With experience working in public and private clinics, I've seen it all and can help.
