About Me

I graduated from UBC Okanagan in 2014 with a Bachelor of Human Kinetics and from UBC Vancouver in 2016 with a Master of Occupational Therapy. I’m genuinely grateful to have a career that allows me to combine creative thinking, compassion, and action while connecting with people and supporting them in meaningful ways.

​

As an occupational therapist, I work across a broad range of areas, supporting people with their physical health, mental health, daily functioning, and overall well-being. My approach is client-centred and ever-evolving, recognizing that each person brings their own strengths, experiences, values, culture, and beliefs to the therapeutic relationship. I believe in honouring what makes each person unique and finding creative, practical solutions that meet them where they are.

 

Mental health is a particular area of focus in my practice, and I am passionate about supporting individuals experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and the effects of stress and trauma. I use occupation-based approaches and psychotherapy-informed strategies to help clients better understand themselves, develop skills for coping and self-management, and reconnect with the activities and roles that are meaningful to them. At the same time, I value the breadth of OT and enjoy working with clients across a variety of needs and life circumstances.

​

Outside of work, I love being outdoors—hiking, snowboarding, paddle boarding, or simply spending time in nature. I also enjoy quieter, creative activities and appreciate the balance between adventure and slowing down. Living in northern BC, I feel fortunate to have so much opportunity to connect with the outdoors and the community around me.

What is occupational therapy?

  • The word "occupation" was intended to mean "the things we do in order to live. " These meaningful activities vary for each individual as we are complex beings who are composed of physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual components.

  • Occupational therapists recognize that health is supported and maintained when clients are able to engage in home, school, workplace, and community life.  

  • We look at optimizing function in activities we engage in every day:

    • Self care – getting dressed, eating, moving about in the house

    • Leisure activities – social activities, sports, gardening

    • Being productive – going to school/work and engaging in the community
