David — Practicing OT, 10+ Years Experience
I didn’t have the highest GPA in undergrad, but I made it into OT school and graduated with honors. I’ve worked in acute care, hand therapy, home health, ergonomics, skilled nursing, and acute rehab. I’ve also managed a staffing business for hand therapists and built OTFocus to help OTs at every stage of their career.
I know what it’s like to feel lost in this field — and I know what it takes to find your footing. That’s why I created OT coaching. I want to give you the honest, practical guidance that nobody gave me.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a coaching session work?
After purchasing your session you’ll receive an email to schedule your 60-minute video call and answer a few preliminary questions. This helps ensure the session is focused on your specific goals. Sessions are conducted via video call at a time that works for you.
Can coaching help me get into OT school with a low GPA?
Yes — this is one of the most common topics. David got into OT school despite a low undergrad GPA and graduated with honors. Coaching can help you understand what schools look for, how to strengthen your application, and how to ace your interview.
I’m already a practicing OT. Is coaching still for me?
Absolutely. Many coaching clients are working OTs who want to break into a new specialty, increase their salary, navigate a difficult workplace situation, or start a side business. If you feel stuck or want to level up, coaching can help.
Can you help me break into hand therapy?
Yes — hand therapy is one of David’s specialties. Sessions can cover how to find hand therapy positions, what skills to develop, how to approach surgeons and clinics, and what to expect in your first hand therapy role.
Is this therapy or mental health counseling?
No — OT coaching is career and professional development focused. Sessions are about practical strategies, career planning, and navigating the OT profession. If you need mental health support, please seek a licensed therapist.
What if I’m not sure what I need help with?
That’s completely fine. Many people come in feeling generally stuck or unsure of their direction. The preliminary questions before your session help identify what to focus on, and David will help you get clarity on your next best step.
