Professional Statement:

With over 26 years of experience as an occupational therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their highest level of independence. My approach is grounded in respect, honesty, and a deep commitment to patient-centered care. I strive to empower patients by setting realistic goals and working collaboratively to overcome challenges through problem-solving and individualized strategies. I have pursued specialized training in several areas, including driving evaluations, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and the LSVT BIG program for individuals with Parkinson’s disease. These advanced skills allow me to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to each client's unique needs. My dedication to the field is reflected in my ongoing efforts to support, challenge, and advocate for my clients, always with the aim of improving their quality of life and functional independence.
