About
I’m Patricia (she/her/hers/siya) — an occupational therapist, mentor, yoga teacher, and the creator of Transitions OT and The Uncommon OT Series Podcast.
I’ve worked across community-based mental health, homeless shelters and domestic violence programs— often in systems where resources are stretched thin and solutions aren’t simple. My current full-time role is in an interim housing facility in Los Angeles, where I work alongside people navigating trauma, homelessness, and recovery. This work grounds everything I do.
In parallel, I mentor graduate-level OT students, serve as a capstone project supervisor, and support early-career and experienced OTPs looking to pivot into non-traditional roles. My mentorship approach blends real-world perspective, trauma-informed care, and nervous system awareness. I'm also a certified yoga and meditation teacher, and integrate these somatic tools into my work when they feel helpful.
