Occupational Therapy for the Adult Nervous System
For adults interested in exploring their nervous system's role in shaping behavior, impacting relationships, and guiding engagement and participation, my practice offers tailored occupational therapy. This approach focuses on developing a deeper connection with your own nervous system through a polyvagal theory-informed lens, understanding how it influences your responses and engagement with meaningful activities. I help you implement strategies to improve your overall well-being and enhance your quality of life.
