Occupational Therapist Reg. (BC)
(Brief Waitlist for Services)

Hi, I’m Melanie (she/her), a neurodivergent Occupational Therapist with a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from UBC.
I primarily support adults with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and burnout to navigate life with more ease and confidence. Our work focuses on what matters most to you—whether that’s managing work or school demands, building routines that stick, staying on top of daily responsibilities, strengthening relationships, reducing burnout, regulating emotions, or finding balance between rest, productivity, and leisure.
As someone with ADHD, I know how discouraging or confusing it can feel when everyday tasks seem harder than they “should” be, or when systems aren’t designed with your brain in mind. I believe combining practical tools with a deep understanding of your condition can empower you to move forward with more clarity, confidence, and the skills to truly thrive.
My approach is neurodivergent-affirming, collaborative, and practical. Our work will explore your skills and abilities, your daily activities, and the physical and social environments you navigate. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, build on your strengths, and develop plans that are realistic, sustainable, and tailored to you.
Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to build a life that works for you. If you have more questions, you can book a consult call with me to explore whether we might be a good fit.
