Hi!
My name is Anna and I am one of two registered occupational therapists here at Chatterbox. My passion lies in helping people overcome life’s challenges, whether they’re dealing with physical injuries, new illnesses, disabilities or mental health concerns. I work with both adult and pediatric clients in a variety of areas.
On the physical health side, I support clients recovering from injuries or adjusting to new conditions. Together, we work on managing pain, improving energy levels, building strength through exercise, getting better sleep and more, so that they can return to doing the things that are meaningful to them. I also provide home safety assessments to ensure your living space is comfortable, functional, and supportive of your needs.
In mental health, I help my clients regain independence and confidence after difficult experiences. I often work with individuals who face challenges like anxiety, depression, PTSD or burnout. Together, we use various tools and techniques to help, including strategies to build healthy habits, manage fears and avoidance behaviours and practice mindfulness in everyday life.
In my more general pediatric work, I support children with their physical and emotional development and independence. This can include anything from emotional regulation to reading and writing, addressing retained primitive reflexes or recommending sensory diets. I am passionate about helping kids build resilience and self-confidence.
Send me an email and we can explore how I can help you on your journey!
