How I Can Support Your Mental Health & Daily Life

 

About Me

​

I am a licensed occupational therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with 26 years of experience working with people facing mental health challenges. My focus is on helping you regain control of your nervous system through body-centered strategies grounded in polyvagal principles.

​

What Is Occupational Therapy?

 

Occupational therapy helps you restore your ability to participate in what matters most—your daily routines, activities, and relationships. My goal is to help you:

​

• Feel safe and grounded in your body

• Reduce stress and anxiety through nervous system regulation

• Reclaim your ability to do daily tasks like dressing, cooking, and self-care

• Engage fully in hobbies, work, and meaningful relationships

 

How I Can Help

​

I use sensory and somatic techniques, inspired by polyvagal theory, to:

​

• Promote feeling safe in your body

• Enhance emotional regulation

• Improve social engagement and connection

• Support your participation in everyday life

 

This approach is designed to help you become more present, grounded, and resilient.

If you're working with a mental health provider, I can help enhance your treatment by:

​

• Improving nervous system regulation

• Restoring your ability to participate fully in daily activities and relationships

 

By collaborating, your provider can sign off on a plan that includes body-based strategies to help you feel better and live fully.
