In her own words:
“The profession of OT is such a good fit for me. I love being able to take a big picture view of why a client may be having challenges and then come up with specific interventions to help them overcome those challenges. My approach to treatment is genuine and practical. We work on gaining and using skills in therapy sessions and then work on how to apply those new skills to other environments including home, the community, work and school.”
