Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Okotoks, AB

I genuinely believe that people do well if they can! Everyone wants to succeed and feel capable and confident in their life. Struggles often stem from very real obstacles in the way. A quality assessment can be instrumental in creating a meaningful and effective way forward. I specialize in comprehensive assessments to provide insight into areas of strengths, skill development, advocacy, and support. There is no one right way to approach thinking, learning or experiencing life. I offer parent and school consultation to improve connection and family relationships and help people thrive in all aspects of their life.

Life is a journey and at times it can be complicated and messy. It might be that your child is struggling, your family has difficulty getting along, or it's you who needs support with the day to day stressors. We can help, things can change and you have already taken the first step.

I am an assessment psychologist with over 20 years of combined experience working with struggling students and their families as a teacher, a learning strategist, a guidance counsellor, a community educator, an advocate, and a school psychologist.

Over the last 20 years, I have become an expert in ADHD and Learning Disabilities (particularly Dyslexia).

Evening and weekend appointments available in person or virtual. I hold a deep seeded belief that we each are doing the very best that we can in any given moment.

I offer a safe validating space to heal and rediscover how you want to show up in your life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or wanting support in any area of your life, please reach out to me. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.
