Autism Therapists in Calgary, AB
Many identify with ADHD or autism, while others feel worn down by the effort of navigating stress, strong emotions, and ongoing tension in their relationships.
In session, I’m engaged and direct. I sit with my clients in the complexity of their lives and help them make sense of what feels confusing. I ask them thoughtful questions, offer honest perspective, and gently challenge patterns when it’s useful. Change typically begins with seeing things differently, and unfolds through new ways of responding.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes you, your child or teen may need some professional support. If worries are overwhelming, or you feel sad or depressed more than is comfortable, I may be able to help you. Do you struggle with parenting? Parenting is rewarding but can also be overwhelming and exhausting, especially if your child or teen struggles with medical or neurodevelopmental diagnoses. Selective eating can be challenging for individuals and families. Having worked in the feeding clinic of a tertiary care hospital for over 10 years, I am passionate about and skilled at working with individuals who are selective eaters.

As a neurodivergent therapist, I celebrate the unique way your brain and body experience the world.
Do you feel like you’re navigating life on "hard mode"? Perhaps social interactions require weeks of mental rehearsal, or the weight of daily care tasks feels like an impossible burden. You might be longing for the uninhibited joy of childhood and more space to dive deep into your special interests.
Many of my clients navigate the physical toll of living in a world not built for them. Often, this includes managing chronic pain, GI distress, or chronic illness alongside the daily weight of sensory overload. With specialized training in neuro-affirming somatic approaches, I can help you build nervous system regulation techniques.

I’m a PhD-level Clinical Psychologist specializing in assessments for children, youth, and young adults (ages 2–23), including psychoeducational & giftedness evaluations, as well as thorough assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and mental health concerns like anxiety and mood disorders.
Are you or your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by big emotions like worry, sadness, and anger? These feelings can be hard to manage in ways that feel steady and effective. These struggles often show up at school, at home, or in challenges with building and maintaining meaningful friendships and relationships. When this happens, it’s common for families and young people to feel confused, worried, or unsure about what it all means and what steps to take next. You don’t have to navigate that uncertainty alone.
