An invisible health condition can leave you feeling like your situation is holding you back from living your life. You look healthy on the outside but are struggling on the inside. You are tired of juggling the demands of a busy life and a health condition.

Your world has become smaller and you are hiding your story because it is too difficult to keep explaining it to people who don’t understand.

You might have an auto-immune or digestive condition, chronic pain, mild depression or other condition that is causing symptoms that are making life difficult: fatigue, pain, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, poor sleep, or feeling a constant undercurrent of stress. You are worried that you have exhausted all the options to help you to live life as fully as possible.

That’s where I come in!

As an Occupational Therapist, I work with people who are having difficulty doing activities that give their daily life meaning. Knowing what gets in the way of doing these activities is key.

When we are frustrated, overwhelmed, or struggling, adapting what we have control over can change our experience. A modification to our environment, the way we approach a task, or to the strategies we use to cope, and often a blend of all three, can allow us to do things we didn’t think were possible.

Together, let's develop strategies to:

• Make the most of your time and energy (physical and cognitive)
• Get a good night’s sleep
• Reduce stress, anxiety, fatigue, and/or pain
• Have a calmer mind and body
• Put habits into practice to keep your brain as healthy as possible
• Improve attention, concentration, memory, organizing, or planning ability
• Build or foster social connections and reduce isolation
• Communicate more effectively with others about what you need
• Cultivate practices for living a wholehearted life
