Registered Provisional Psychologist

Alberta Psychologists - License No. P3640

College of Alberta Psychologists

I have over 9 years of experience in the mental health field where I have provided counselling interventions to children and adolescents, behaviour and mental health consultative support to both parents and school-based teams, and engaged in formal psychoeducational assessments. 

Through diverse work opportunities in both not-for-profit and public settings, I gained insight into common childhood and adolescent disorders and the power of early intervention. 

 

When you and your child partner with me, I will focus on building and maintaining a sense of safety and security, while meeting your child where they’re at. I’ll integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and a mindfulness approach, along with creative hands-on activities, into my counselling practice to support your child in reaching their unique goals. My specific interests are in the areas of Anxiety Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Depression, Learning Disorders, emotional regulation, behaviour management, and parent consultation. 

 

I am passionate about creating a caring, engaging, and collaborative counselling environment, where your child can explore their strengths, develop coping tools and strategies, and gain confidence in managing their emotions and overcoming challenges.
