Occupational Therapist

Kara Straub Rivest
Hi there - I’m an occupational therapist who supports neurodivergent individuals and the people who care for them through a neuro-affirming, real-life approach to care.

My work centres on executive functioning, interoception, and nervous system regulation. I help people better understand their bodies, attention, and emotions so day-to-day life feels more manageable, connected, and meaningful.
I take a relational approach, partnering with individuals and/or families to build understanding, safety, and strategies that feel respectful, practical, and sustainable. I’m not here to fix anyone - I’m here to walk alongside people in ways that honour their experiences, autonomy, and goals.
I believe meaningful change happens through connection and participation. When support fits the person, their routines, and their environment, life becomes not just tolerable, but livable and fulfilling.
