Life doesn't stop because you're struggling.

You deserve support that works with your life.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a life transition, or trying to help your child thrive, we'll work together to find practical strategies that fit your everyday life.

Two practices, one place.

Counseling for adults, and occupational therapy for children and their families. Choose the one that fits what you're looking for.

Mental health counseling

Therapy for adults

For adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, abuse recovery, and periods of change.

Individual therapy that's practical as well as reflective. We look at what's happening, why it keeps happening, and what can realistically change.

  • Adult ADHD and executive functioning
  • Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
  • Burnout and exhaustion that rest doesn't fix
  • Depression and low mood
  • Domestic violence and abuse recovery
  • Grief and loss
  • Major life changes and adjustment
  • Relationship problems and challenges
  • Parenting challenges and changing family dynamics

Pediatric occupational therapy

OT for children and families

Helping children build the skills and confidence they need for everyday life.

Occupational therapy isn't just about improving skills. It's about making the everyday moments that matter feel a little easier for children and the families who support them.

I work with children who struggle with:

  • Sensory processing and emotional regulation
  • Fine motor skills and handwriting
  • Attention, transitions, and daily routines
  • Getting dressed, feeding, and other self care skills
  • Play skills and social engagement
  • Sleep routines and bedtime transitions
  • Big feelings, frustration, and recovering from meltdowns
  • Building practical strategies that support the whole family
  • Coaching and support for parents at home

About Leonice

Two areas of training. One perspective.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Occupational Therapist. Training in both fields shapes how I work: I look at what someone is feeling and at what their day actually requires of them. I see adults for counseling, and children and their families for occupational therapy. Sessions are available in English and Portuguese.
