Strengths-based occupational therapy—nurturing growth and honoring each person’s capacity for meaningful engagement.
At All Bright Futures OT, I believe every individual deserves the opportunity to shine. My primary focus is working with adolescents, young adults, and their families. I also support children ages 5 and up on a case-by-case basis—especially when their needs align with a functional, strengths-based approach.
What I Do
Whether I am supporting meaningful daily activities directly or focusing on skill development to support underlying challenges, I begin with your goals and build on your strengths- because real progress happens when support is personalized, practical, and purposeful.
Occupational therapists are uniquely trained in analyzing everyday activities to identify the obstacles that hinder participation. I look beyond surface-level challenges, supporting individuals in developing the specific skills, strategies, or adaptations a person needs to succeed.
Depending on the goals and context, this may involve working directly with the person to build skills, or using a coaching or consultative approach with the people who support them. Often, a hybrid approach—combining both direct intervention and collaboration—leads to the most meaningful progress.
Regardless of the method, I purposefully partner with my clients to holistically consider their strengths, routines, values, culture, environments, and relationships—ensuring that support is truly meaningful and fits within the context of their everyday life.
My Approach
Empowering Independence in Everyday Life
Whether at home, school, work, or in the community, my mission is simple:
To empower individuals with the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to thrive in the real world.
I believe the most lasting change starts with a clear vision of what matters most. That is why I begin with the end in mind—focusing on an individual’s values, priorities, and goals to guide my approach. By connecting therapy to meaningful outcomes and building intrinsic motivation, I ensure that skills are practiced in relevant, real-life contexts. When progress feels purposeful and personally rewarding, engagement and growth naturally follow.
Who I Support & What We Work On
At All Bright Futures OT, I support children, teens, and young adults with a wide range of developmental, neurological, and emotional needs, including:
ADHD
Autism
Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD)
Anxiety
Developmental Trauma
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Down Syndrome
Limb Differences
I also work with individuals experiencing sensory processing difficulties, executive functioning challenges, and those with rare or complex neurodevelopmental conditions. While these are common diagnoses I support, my services are always individualized. A formal evaluation helps us understand each person’s strengths and needs—but my approach goes beyond diagnoses, focusing on real-life skills for meaningful participation and independence.
Whether someone is learning how to manage their morning routine, organize their schoolwork, prepare for a job, or connect with peers, our work is all about functional goals and meaningful change. I support growth in areas such as:
Daily Living Skills – personal care, household routines, laundry management, and meal preparation
Academic Success – time management, organization, emotional regulation strategies, and handwriting support with a focus on visual-motor integration
Vocational Readiness – following directions, building job skills, navigating workplace expectations, motor planning for task completion, and providing sensory supports to optimize self-regulation
Social Participation – supporting sensory regulation, interpreting social cues in everyday life, and building confidence for connection in group and community settings
Leisure Skills – exploring and developing meaningful leisure interests, discovering the just-right challenge, supporting motor planning skill development, and advocating for inclusion in recreational settings
Together, we build the skills that promote confidence, independence, and participation—in school, at home, at work, and in the community.

FAQs
-
The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. This gives us a chance to connect, discuss your needs, and determine if my services are a good fit.
If we decide to move forward, you’ll need to request a doctor's order for an occupational therapy evaluation. Once I receive that, we’ll schedule the evaluation. After the assessment, I’ll provide you with a detailed report and plan of care, which will also be shared with your doctor.
From there, we’ll begin services based on your individualized goals. As progress is made, we can perform re-evaluations to update goals, adjust services, or determine if it’s time for discharge.
-
While my primary focus is on adolescents and young adults preparing for life after school, I also support children ages 5 and up with a variety of developmental, learning, and emotional needs.
-
At this time, I provide cash-based services. However, I offer superbills upon request, which you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I recommend checking with your insurance company in advance to understand your coverage.
-
I understand that private occupational therapy can feel like a significant financial investment—and it is! I want to be transparent about what goes into the cost of services and why those rates are set the way they are.
As an independent provider, the fee you pay covers much more than just the time spent in session. Behind the scenes, your investment supports:
Licensure & Continuing Education – Ongoing learning is essential to stay current and provide the highest quality, evidence-based care. Maintaining professional licensure also requires regular renewal and continuing education hours.
Professional Liability Insurance – This protects both you and me and is required for ethical, responsible practice.
Electronic Health Record (EHR) System – I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant system to manage documentation, scheduling, and communication.
Driving & Travel Costs – As a mobile therapist, I come to you. This means travel time, mileage, and vehicle wear and tear are all factored into my services.
Assessment Tools & Materials – Evaluations require standardized tools , many of which have licensing fees or replacement costs.
Preparation & Documentation Time – For every session, I spend additional time preparing customized materials, planning activities, and completing required documentation to ensure quality care and continuity.
Administrative Overhead – This includes things like business registration, website maintenance, communications, billing systems, and more.
While I do my best to keep services accessible, I also want to ensure I’m providing ethical, sustainable, and high-quality support. I’m always happy to talk more about ways to make services work for your family—including flexible scheduling and providing superbills for potential out-of-network insurance reimbursement.
-
I offer mobile outpatient services, which means I come to you. Sessions take place in natural environments such as your home or community settings to promote real-world skill development in familiar, functional contexts.
-
Yes. A physician’s order for an occupational therapy evaluation is required before we can begin services. I’ll walk you through exactly what to request during our consultation.
-
Session length and frequency are based on individual needs and goals. Most sessions are 50 minutes and occur once per week, but we’ll work together to determine what makes the most sense for your situation.
-
I focus on helping individuals develop meaningful, real-life skills in areas such as daily living, academic success, vocational readiness, social participation, and leisure engagement. Goals are always personalized and based on a collaborative evaluation process.
-
Yes, telehealth is available for clients who may benefit from virtual support. Telehealth sessions are offered at a reduced rate of $130 per session and can be a convenient and effective option—especially for coaching, consultation, or certain skill-building sessions.
That said, telehealth isn't the best fit for every client or every goal. Occupational therapy is often most effective when delivered in person, particularly when hands-on support, environmental observation, or real-time task engagement is needed. In some cases, a hybrid model—with a combination of in-person and virtual sessions—can offer the best of both worlds.
During your initial consultation and evaluation, we’ll determine together what service model will be the most supportive for you or your child’s needs.
