Parent/ Teen conflict is a challenging time for everyone, and can cause breakdown in the best of us!

If your child is struggling with reading, math, spelling, putting ideas on paper, or is generally struggling to reach his or her potential in school, a psycho-educational assessment can help to identify processing strengths, weaknesses and deficits which may need to be addressed, remediated, and accommodated for. As a registered Psychological Associate member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario since 1998, I can help you to understand the factors affecting your child's learning and school performance, and to develop a manageable and realistic plan to support your child's learning at school and at home.

"Children have very deep feelings just the way parents do, just the way everybody does; and our striving to understand those feelings and to better respond to them is what I feel is the most important task in our world." -Mr. Rogers. Sometimes, big feelings or difficult experiences can be hard for children to express using words. Art and play tap into the languages that kids naturally use as they grow and begin to understand their environment, and can help provide an outlet for kids to express themselves.
