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.
