I have a Master’s degree in School and Clinical Child Psychology from the University of Alberta. My education and training provided me with a well-rounded experience, highlighting the importance of a developmental perspective and a biopsychosocial approach when addressing concerns. I have experience working with children and adolescents facing learning, attention, and mental health difficulties. I specialize in assessment services and targeted intervention to help with emotional regulation, behavior, and social skills.
​
My passion for working with children began 14 years ago in my role as a dance instructor. The interactions with children and their families sparked my interest in child psychology. I pride myself on my ability to listen and connect with children of all ages. Becoming a mother has also expanded my empathy for children and families experiencing challenges. I am motivated to help impact children and their families in a meaningful way.
​
I provide assessments for people of all ages and offer individual and group services for children and teens, as well as individualized intervention programs for families.
