Hi! I'm Abby.
How can I help you today?
Hi, I'm Abby! I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA/L) with a background in psychology (B.S.) and an Associate of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy. My training blends mental health awareness with hands-on, function-based care. I have a deep passion for helping individuals improve their quality of life by developing essential life skills, coping strategies, and emotional resilience. From a person-centered approach, I work closely with individuals to foster independence and support emotional well-being in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

ABOUT ME
MY APPROACH
I believe that mental health and daily functioning are deeply interconnected. By focusing on improving daily life skills—such as time management, social interaction, and stress management—I help clients regain confidence and control in their lives. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and respect for each individual’s unique journey.
Whether it’s helping you manage emotional triggers, rebuild self-confidence, or develop better coping mechanisms, I am here to walk with you every step of the way.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
I get that life can feel overwhelming sometimes—and that it’s not always easy to identify what the issue is, or to ask for help. My goal is to make this process feel supportive, down-to-earth, and genuinely helpful through my collaborative and evidence-based approach. I bring OT experience working in mental health settings, and I’m committed to creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and not judged.

What is
Occupational Therapy?
The Bridge Between "Mind" and "Body".
Occupation is defined as “the meaningful activities that make up an individual’s day”
Occupational Therapists are specially trained and educated in neuroscience, anatomy and physiology, sensory modulation, activity and environmental analysis, and occupational performance. OT is the only profession that helps people across the lifespan to do what they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of daily occupations.
​
I specialize in addressing the psychosocial needs of clients across the lifespan. I focus on a client’s mental wellbeing, their environment, and their daily occupations and base interventions on what's practical for my clients. My goal is to work with clients and collaborate on ways to improve the client’s overall quality of life.
​
Whether you need assistance with development, sensory needs, or behavior of your child or you’re an adult seeking purpose and meaning in life through a transitional period. Psychosocial Occupational Therapy can assist you in reaching your goals and creating a life worth living!
