My practice focuses on identifying neuropsychological difficulties, helping clients to better understand their cognitive profile, and helping clients learn ways to adapt to any cognitive limitations. Practical recommendations are provided through one-on-one feedback and a detailed report, so that clients, their families, and their healthcare providers can work together to maximize functioning. Above all, I strive to provide an objective opinion about an individual's cognition.

Life can be full of stress, with some days being more overwhelming than others. It can be difficult to look inwards and realize that the skills and behaviours we have been using to cope with stress are not as effective as they used to be. Through this inward reflection, you have recognized that something needs to change and I congratulate you on doing so. This recognition can come with uncertainty about how to develop different ways to overcome the challenges that life presents us. Together we will navigate difficulties with negative emotions, disruptive behaviours, or family conflict and work towards making a positive change!
