Occupational therapy
Mental Health Occupational Therapist
As a mental health occupational therapist, my goal is to help you engage in the activities that bring purpose and joy to your life while also supporting you through the challenges that may be standing in your way. Together, we’ll identify areas in your daily life that are causing stress or imbalance, and we’ll work on practical solutions to make things easier and more manageable.
We’ll take a closer look at your routines and how they impact your well-being, considering not just your mental health, but also your physical, social, emotional, cultural, and spiritual needs. I want to help you create a balanced life that reflects who you are and what truly matters to you. By setting meaningful goals and working through your challenges step-by-step, we’ll build a routine that supports your growth, healing, and overall happiness. I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey, every step of the way.
How I can help
LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy
I recognize and deeply understand the trauma, prejudice, and unique challenges that the LGBTQIA+ community faces. At His, Her & Their Therapy, I’m committed to offering a service that is affirming, compassionate, and free from discrimination. My goal is simple: to ensure that everyone who walks through my doors feels safe, heard, and truly seen for who they are.
You deserve care that celebrates your identity, and I’m here to provide that support every step of the way.
Psychotherapy with an Occupation-Focused Approach
You might be familiar with psychologists or counselors offering talk-based therapy, but did you know that mental health occupational therapists, like myself, are also trained in this important form of therapy? In addition to the psychological training, I complete extra training in psychological interventions, allowing me to offer psychotherapy with a unique “occupation-focused” lens.
This means that while we focus on your thoughts and emotions, we also explore how your daily activities, routines, and the things that matter most to you impact your well-being. It’s about looking at your life as a whole, not just one piece of the puzzle.
My approach includes:
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Alcohol and Drug Counselling
At His, Her & Their Therapy, I’m here to guide you through the therapeutic process with compassion and understanding, always focusing on what truly matters in your life. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and the meaningful changes you’re looking for..
Sensory Intervention
Have you ever noticed how a certain smell can bring back memories of a special moment or person? Or how a hug from a loved one can bring comfort when you’re feeling down? Maybe a song, like Taylor Swift’s "All Too Well," stirs up deep emotions?
That’s the power of sensory experiences. At His, Her & Their Therapy, I love exploring how each of your senses—touch, smell, taste, sound, vision, proprioception, vestibular, and interoception—connects to your thoughts, emotions, and memories.
As a mental health occupational therapist, I’m here to help you understand how your body responds to emotions, trauma, and relationships. Together, we’ll work on developing a sensory plan that helps you feel safe, calm, and balanced, so you can focus on the things that matter most to you.
I’m here to help your body and mind work in harmony, so you can move through life with confidence and peace. Together, we’ll explore ways for you to feel more grounded and connected, every step of the way.
