My prac­tice as an occu­pa­tion­al ther­a­pist is root­ed in a com­pas­sion­ate, evi­dence-based approach that pri­or­i­tizes both func­tion and dig­ni­ty. Beyond clin­i­cal exper­tise, I pri­or­i­tize ther­a­peu­tic use of self to fos­ter strong client rela­tion­ships, using a com­bi­na­tion of pos­i­tive pres­ence, active lis­ten­ing, and empa­thy to build trust and encour­age open com­mu­ni­ca­tion. For me, occu­pa­tion­al ther­a­py is a seam­less inte­gra­tion of knowl­edge, empa­thy, and a deep-seat­ed ded­i­ca­tion to service.
