Why Functional Living Solutions
Functional Living Solutions was created as a smaller, patient-centered practice where your treatment is based on your needs and goals, not on how many patients we can see in a day.
"I never set out to own a business. I simply wanted to practice occupational therapy the way I believe it should be practiced."
After years of experience in outpatient clinics, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home health, I knew I wanted the freedom to practice in a way that felt right. I wanted my patients to never feel rushed, never feel shuffled between providers, and never feel like just a number.
That's why I created Functional Living Solutions. It's a smaller, patient-centered practice, where treatment decisions are based on your individual needs and goals, not on patient volume or high-speed scheduling. Here, you get one-on-one care, longer appointments, and continuity with the same therapist through your whole treatment.
Because therapy isn't just about strength or range of motion. It's about helping you get back to the things you actually need and want to do in your everyday life.
Our Origin Story
What Sets Us Apart
Our approach focuses on personalized care that larger clinics often can’t provide. We prioritize your unique needs and goals over patient volume, ensuring every visit is meaningful and tailored to you.
One-on-one care: Every session is spent directly with your therapist, not passed between staff
Individualized treatment plans: Your plan is built around your specific goals, not a one-size-fits-all protocol
Longer appointments: Sessions are longer than typical high-volume clinics, so there's real time to work with you
Continuity of care: You see the same therapist every visit, building a relationship that supports better outcomes
Hands-on treatment: Treatment includes manual, hands-on techniques, not just equipment or exercises alone
Evidence-Based Care: Treatment methods are grounded in current research and clinical best practices.
Function-Focused Treatment: Care is centered on real daily activities, not just strength or motion test scores.
Your Goals Guide Treatment: "Your goals are my goals" is the foundation of every treatment plan.
Physician Collaboration: Direct communication with your physicians and other healthcare providers throughout your care.
Small, Private-Practice Setting: A calm, personal environment instead of a large, impersonal clinic
Focus on Independence: Every treatment decision supports your long-term independence and quality of life.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple. Maximize independence. Restore function. Improve quality of life. Help you return to the activities that matter most.
Therapy isn't just about improving strength or range of motion. It's about what those improvements let you actually do, at home, at work, with your family, and in your community.
Function is what we do. Living is why we do it.
