Begin Your Journey to a Meaningful Life with Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapists offer a broad range of services to anyone who is experiencing a physical, cognitive, or psychosocial challenge. Treatment is hands-on, client centered and focused on active engagement in occupations through a holistic approach.
In this context, occupations are not synonymous with career or profession, but rather refer to our life skills. They consist of any and all activities that occupy our time, including, but not limited to: basics of self-care, job tasks, socializing, leisure activities, and household management. The activities we engage in and prioritize can enhance our quality of life and provide us with a sense of purpose. Furthermore, an impairment of any kind can understandably limit our ability to participate in such life skills and obtain fulfillment from the activities of daily living that are essential to our well-being.
Therapy Process
The beauty of our process is that it is unique to you. Client-centered therapy tools will be used to guide you through your journey and help you to reach your goals.
Client Centered Treatment Options
Holistic Life Skills offers a variety of services to help you meet your goals. They can be embedded into your treatment plan or be used separately.
Hi, I’m Jacki!
Occupational Therapist, OTR/L, CBIS and Founder
I have a deep passion for helping people create a more pleasurable life, which is why I fell in love with Occupational Therapy. Throughout my 7+ years working in a variety of treatment settings, I have sensed that there is a gap in the range of therapeutic support that is offered to people in need. I decided to establish Holistic Life Skills as a way to fill in that gap and put my skills to broader use.
My practice is committed to valuing you as a whole person by curating treatment goals that address all aspects of your life. I hope to support you in building, rebuilding and exploring meaningful activities that align with your goals and values. I look forward to getting to know who you are and what brings you joy, so that together, we can get you closer to the life you want to live.

“Jacki is an extraordinary therapist. She connected immediately with my husband and exuded great warmth and compassion as she developed a program tailored specifically to his needs. He looked forward to his two hour therapy sessions. Jacki adeptly inspired him to do the hard work necessary to improve both his strength, balance and function. She is brilliantly creative and incorporates therapy in fun and interesting exercises while maintaining the structure necessary for someone who has experienced a traumatic brain injury.”

“I had a massive stroke in mid-March. I was traveling back home to California and was at the San Antonio airport when I collapsed in my seat on the airplane. I could not speak and could only move my left arm and leg. I was total care with transfers, toileting, bathing, dressing, and working on my right side to gain my arm and leg mobility. In May and June, Jacki started working with me four hours per day four days per week. Starting in mid-August, Jacki comes three days per week for two hours. Jacki has taught me to dress myself, bathe on my own, walk with a walker, do my own laundry and fix light meals. She is wonderful and I attribute my success to her.”
