Occupational therapy helps people participate more fully in daily life when pain, injury, illness, stress, cognitive challenges, mental health concerns, or life changes are making everyday activities difficult.

I support adults navigating challenges related to chronic pain, fatigue, mental health, burnout, executive functioning, injury recovery, aging in place, life transitions, emotional wellbeing, and daily functioning.

I work with adults of all ages who are experiencing barriers that impact their ability to function, participate in daily life, or maintain independence and wellbeing.

Yes. Depending on your needs and goals, sessions can take place in your home or community environment. In-home occupational therapy can be especially helpful for home safety assessments, aging in place support, routine development, energy conservation, and functional rehabilitation within real-life environments.

I provide occupational therapy services in Edmonton, Alberta and surrounding areas.

In-home and community-based visits outside of Edmonton may be subject to additional travel or mileage fees. Any applicable fees will be discussed prior to booking.

The initial appointment focuses on understanding your story, goals, routines, strengths, and the challenges affecting your daily life. Together, we explore the activities that feel difficult right now and identify practical areas of focus to support greater function, independence, and wellbeing.

Occupational therapy is highly individualized and practical. Sessions may involve conversation, strategy development, routine planning, environmental recommendations, skill-building, pacing and energy management, community-based support, or working through real-life daily activities together.

Many extended health benefit plans include coverage for occupational therapy services. Coverage varies depending on your provider and policy, so clients are encouraged to check directly with their insurance provider regarding eligibility, reimbursement amounts, and referral requirements.

Receipts are provided following payment for clients to submit for reimbursement through their insurance provider. Please contact your provider directly to confirm your occupational therapy coverage.

A referral may not be required to access occupational therapy services privately, though some insurance providers may request one for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended that you check directly with your provider regarding coverage requirements.

Executive functioning refers to the mental processes involved in planning, organizing, initiating tasks, managing attention, regulating emotions, and following through on daily responsibilities. Occupational therapy can help develop practical systems and strategies to make everyday life feel more manageable and sustainable.

No. Occupational therapy also supports mental health, emotional wellbeing, executive functioning, burnout, chronic stress, cognitive overload, fatigue, and life transitions.

Yes. Occupational therapy can support individuals experiencing burnout, stress, emotional exhaustion, cognitive overload, or difficulty managing daily responsibilities through pacing strategies, routine development, energy management, environmental supports, and rebuilding sustainable daily structure.

The length of support varies depending on your goals, needs, and the type of challenges you are navigating. Some individuals benefit from short-term strategy-focused support, while others prefer ongoing rehabilitation and guidance over time.

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you are struggling with daily activities, routines, independence, energy, participation, or navigating a major life change, an initial conversation can help determine whether occupational therapy feels appropriate for your needs.
