PROFILEI have been an Occupational Therapist for 30 years, working with a wide variety of patient population and their loved ones. I have, also, had training to become a Life Coach, which has enhanced my Occupational Therapy skills as well my personal skills. Being an occupational therapist has given me the extraordinary privilege of impacting the lives of so many people in a positive way. I have tremendous passion for what I do & for my patients. My personal strengths include excellent verbal and written skills, outstanding customer service, very good sense of humor, strong work ethic, great observational & problem solving skills, time management & flexibility. I believe in team approach, but, I do not hesitate to take initiative in order to resolve patients’ issues to their satisfaction. I speak two languages and have lived in three different countries before I came to the USA to start a new life. My own life experiences & transitions as well as working with patients from many different countries have made me highly sensitive to cultural issues of my patients. I believe my background & clinical skills, along with my character and patient care philosophy allows me to be a very effective therapist.Specialties: arthritis; stroke; cardiac and pulmonary diseases; cancer; diabetes; dementia and geriatric Psych; acute & chronic psychiatric disorders, head injury; neurological & movement disorders; orthopedic fractures; joint replacements; geriatric strengthening exercises; work simplification/joint protection training; cognitive & perceptual training; balance & fall prevention training; safety training; stress management skills; adaptive equipment; group treatments; computerized documentation; diahermy, ultrasound
