Our Team
Luc Jeanneau
Clinic Director • Occupational Therapist
Luc is the Founder and Director of Everyday OT. He believes that everyone deserves to live a joyful and authentic life. As a multiply neurodivergent clinician, Luc brings lived experience to his work. He believes it is essential for ND-folks to be understood and validated in their experience. Luc aims to build a foundation for lasting positive change by supporting self-understanding and facilitating mutual understanding between neurotypes. Luc’s experience as a school-based pediatric clinician ultimately left him yearning to be able to deliver services that were more aligned with his clients’ way of being. Starting a private practice that works through the lens of the Neurodiversity Paradigm was an obvious fit.
His temperament is enthusiastic, energetic, and playful. He likes to create a peer-to-peer feel, rather than an expert-client dynamic. Luc works with teenagers and adults.
Tessa Goldberger
Occupational Therapist
Tessa completed her Master of Occupational Therapy program at UBC. Tessa has experience working with adults and children with varying neurological disorders, developmental delays, orthopaedic injuries, chronic pain, mental health and trauma. Her current experience in school-based therapy has further increased her passion for neurodiversity and all that it encompasses. Tessa is dedicated to creating a safe space for children, youth and adults to explore connection, engagement and functional skill building through meaningful occupations.
Shay-Lynn Smith
Shay studied occupational therapy at Queen’s University. She has worked in longterm care, pediatrics, and mental health services. Shay is passionate about working with ND children and adults, as well as the overlap that commonly happens between mental health and neurodivergence. She focuses on developing a strengths-based relationship and mutual regulation as a pre-requisite to goal focused work. Clinically, she draws on trauma-informed practice, PDA-informed practice, CO-OP (cognitive orientation to occupational performance), motivational interviewing, and sensory processing supports.
Shay regularly furthers her education in areas relevant to her caseload. She has most recently completed Kristy Forbes’ “In Tune with PDA”.
Her temperament is thoughtful, honest, and encouraging. Shay was drawn to OT due to the focus on meaningful activities and focuses her own life on valuing her own meaningful occupations. She regularly learns new art projects, plays games on her switch, and explores the outdoors.
