Have you been struggling to deal with trauma, grief, anxiety, stress, relationships, and everyday life problems? Do you feel like you’re trying to overcome it, but nothing is working? This can be very frustrating, painful, and confusing. Unfortunately, many people learn to live with these feelings and struggles. It can lead to a negative, unhappy, and unfulfilled life, which can cause more anxiety, stress, problems, trauma, and grief.

I work as an occupational therapist, with a special focus on mental health and vocational rehabilitation. I like Arthur Ashe's quote: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." This is the heart of what we do: we walk alongside people of all ages, helping them to re-engage with the roles and activities that bring meaning to their lives. It’s an incredible privilege to witness someone reclaim their confidence—especially when they return to work and start doing things they once thought were out of reach. In many ways, I see my role as a professional cheerleader—backed by science, strategy, and heart.
