My passion is to support neurodiverse and any children/youth who are just trying to grow up and figure out life in their own unique way. We are all complex and different, so I strive to honor that along with build upon our own strengths. No one is perfect, but there is always room to grow. If we can build these tools early, what is more fulfilling than seeing our young ones find their true selves and flourish to their full potential? Let's cultivate resilient souls, in a harsh world. I additionally love to support parents who just want the best for their children, along with anyone trying to find their way through this life journey.

I provide psychological, psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments for children, youth and adults. An assessment can be useful in order to understand the nature of an individual's learning needs, certain behaviours, and/or emotional challenges. It can provide specific diagnoses (e.g. ADHD, Specific Learning Disabilities, Anxiety), or simply help to identify a person's strengths and any weaknesses. Ultimately, the goal of an assessment is to make recommendations that will promote wellbeing and help an individual to be successful. In addition to assessments, I also offer some individual therapy and parenting support.

Your family means everything to you, but parenting can feel overwhelming when your child is struggling emotionally or behaviourally. You may be watching them cope with anxiety, big emotions, loss, trauma, or difficult transitions and wondering how to help. Many parents quietly ask themselves, Am I doing this right? Sometimes our own past experiences can make parenting even harder. At the heart of it all, parents want the same thing: for their children to feel confident, connected, resilient, and hopeful about their future.

Many of the people I work with feel like they’ve been managing a lot internally while trying to function day to day, often feeling misunderstood or unsure how to make lasting change. I also work with individuals navigating emotional intensity, difficulty with regulation, self-destructive patterns, and relational challenges, including those who identify with traits of borderline personality disorder. In addition, I support clients living with multiple or co-occurring mental health concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, substance use, and mood-related difficulties. ​

Racialized adults, trauma-exposed professionals, couples in crisis, neurodiverse people, and others. I've noticed a trend... Some people wait as long as they can before getting support, others reach out early, but no one is better off alone. Trauma holds us back. Neurodiversity complicates things (like navigating a society not designed with you in mind!). Grief, Loss, and other Life Transitions pile on extra stress during trying times. With support, I'm confident you'll find your way forward.
