Embark OT and Coaching

With over two decades of experience in mental health rehabilitation, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to supporting adults navigating challenges related to mental health, neurodivergence, and trauma. ⸻ What is Occupational Therapy? Occupational therapy helps adults improve their ability to participate in meaningful daily activities—especially when mental health or neurodivergence presents barriers. In an outpatient setting, OT offers personalized support for individuals with diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma-related conditions, and other mood disorders. ⸻ OT Can Help You: • Improve executive functioning—planning, organization, time management, and task follow-through • Build independent living skills—budgeting, cooking, hygiene, and transportation • Create sustainable routines that promote consistency and reduce burnout • Succeed in school, work, and community settings through accommodations, strategies, and practical supports • Address sensory sensitivities that interfere with daily functioning ⸻ About Me: At Embark OT and Coaching, I specialize in helping individuals build meaningful routines, increase independence, and improve daily functioning through personalized occupational therapy and executive function coaching. My approach integrates sensory processing and interoception-based techniques to support self-regulation and overall well-being. I have advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and extensive experience working with individuals navigating dissociative disorders and complex trauma. My work is both neurodiversity-affirming and gender-affirming. For the majority of my career, I founded and led the rehabilitation services at The Retreat by Sheppard Pratt, an internationally renowned psychiatric program. In that role, I've worked closely with individuals seeking intensive, individualized, and innovative care. That experience continues to shape my belief in the power of collaborative, highly tailored, concierge-level support. Whether you’re navigating executive functioning challenges, daily routines, or trauma-related barriers, my goal is to help you improve how you function day to day—so you can live with more ease, clarity, and autonomy. ⸻ Is Occupational Therapy Right for You?
