Transforming lives since: October 2021
Front line experience: I’m an occupational therapist by trade with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and have taken supplemental trainings related to trauma-informed practice, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and sensorimotor development. I have enjoyed using holistic practices in my work with children and adults in sensory integration clinics and mental health settings.
I have experience administering the SSP and FOCUS systems to my clients, and have seen first-hand the impact these interventions can have on an individual’s life. I wholeheartedly believe they are some of the most effective tools that I have in my “toolbox” as a clinician, and I am passionate about supporting other providers in incorporating them into their own practice.
Helping you thrive: Infusing connections with compassion, kindness, and creativity
Keeps me going / Warms my heart: Getting to help others make practical sense of the brain-body connection, then watching them go off and use it to transform lives!
Words to live by / Favourite inspiring quote: “Life takes on meaning in the minute-by-minute reality in which we experience ourselves achieving ordinary things” – Gary Kielhofner
Personal interests / for fun / in my spare time: I enjoy paddleboarding, yoga, traveling, and hiking with my family!
