Occupational Therapy

for autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, and neurodivergent teens and adults

As an occupational therapist with over 20 years of experience, I bring a thoughtful, neuroaffirming, and research-based lens to my work with teens and adults. My approach is grounded in deep respect for each person’s lived experience and a commitment to providing non-judgmental, supportive care.

When I support clients, I hold several core intentions:

Helping guide you toward an authentic, intentional life aligned with your highest values. Making choices that allow you to form a life you do not need to constantly recover or reset from. Creating a life that fills you up rather than drains you and creating days that feel nourishing and gratifying by being mindful of your capacity, well-being, priorities, and energy.

Guiding late-diagnosed or self-identified neurodivergent teens and adults toward meaningful “aha” moments of recognizing their true selves after years of masking, and then providing a safe space for unmasking to begin. Validating your true self as the unique person you were created to be and recognizing patterns, strengths, and needs that may have been misunderstood or overlooked for years.

Supporting individuals who are experiencing or recovering from autistic burnout, with an emphasis on nervous system safety, rest, and reconnection to what feels meaningful.
Walking alongside you in a fast, overwhelming world that often isn’t designed with neurodivergent bodies and brains in mind. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Creating a healthier balance between true rest and meaningful participation, including daily tasks, relationships, work, and social engagement.

Whether your goals relate to life at work, home, school, or in relationships, occupational therapy can offer practical support and deeper understanding. Together, we may explore areas such as:

Executive Function Support (Work, Home, or School)

I support clients with executive functioning challenges by addressing areas such as:

Organizing workflow and daily responsibilities
Prioritizing tasks in a realistic, values-based way
Creating time management strategies that reduce stress
Addressing time blindness and task initiation challenges

The goal is to build individualized and supportive systems that work with your daily rhythms, priorities, goals, and responsibilities.

Nervous System & Sensory Support

Interoceptive and body-based practices to support nervous system regulation
Gentle strategies that help your nervous system shift out of survival mode and allow your natural healing mechanisms to come back online
Reducing chronic stress, tension, and hypervigilance through individualized, sustainable supports
Sensory processing education to better understand how your nervous system responds to the world

We may also create a personalized sensory profile to help validate your experiences, make sense of your reactions, and support comfort and participation at home, work, and in social environments.

Activities of Daily Living (I/ADLs)

Occupational therapy can support improved participation and satisfaction in everyday tasks such as:

Personal hygiene routines
Managing your home and daily responsibilities
Grocery shopping and meal-related tasks
Making and attending medical appointments
Managing medications and other essential routines

Our work focuses on reducing overwhelm and finding approaches that fit you, rather than forcing systems that don’t.

So, what does OT actually look like? What should you expect?

First, we will do an initial free consultation over the phone or through a virtual meeting room so I can answer any questions you have.

Next, we will work together to complete an initial evaluation. The evaluation can typically be completed within one meeting and can be completed in person or virtually.

We'll work together to set goals based on the areas you would like to address, and then move forward with weekly or bi-weekly therapy. Our sessions will last for about 45 minutes each. We can meet virtually- with or without video, or if you live close by, we can meet in-person.

My services are individualized and strengths-based. This means that we'll use all the things you're already great at to help you improve in the areas that are preventing you from living life the way you want to!

If you're ready to get started, you can contact me here to set up your initial consultation.
