Your 'Occupational Tía'
The name Occupational Tía reflects the warmth, care, and connection I bring to my work. In many cultures, a tía (aunt) is someone who offers unwavering support, wisdom, and a sense of belonging—just like I strive to do as an occupational therapist. Think of me as your therapeutic auntie—always here to encourage, guide, and advocate for you through every challenge. My approach is rooted in trust, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping my clients feel seen, valued, and empowered.
