Initial Consultation (no cost)

It can feel daunting to reach out for help, especially for something as important as caring for our young children. As a mother and psychologist, I know the importance of truly being heard. I am here to listen to your concerns, share my knowledge and experience, and pursue practical solutions.

Reach out for a 

no-pressure no-cost

conversation

to see if we're a good fit.

I'm hands-on during each step,  but I also have a close network of child psychologist

colleagues to consult with as needed. 

Assessment

Finding peace of mind starts with a thorough investigation into the "why" behind the behaviour. I combine evidence-based tools, decades of clinical experience, and light-heartedness to truly help us delve into the details.  

As one of the only DIR/Floortime trained psychologists in Calgary, I can help by providing formal assessments and diagnoses, which are required for various financial and school support.

But I also go beyond labels to investigate your child's individual developmental capacities in detail.

Together, we'll tackle challenges in a personalized and playful way, so your child can focus on being a kid!  

Counselling and Consultation

Meltdowns, tantrums, social skills, interest in peers, attention, focus, speaking, play skills, hitting, biting, eating, toileting, sleeping...so much happening in such tiny humans! When some skills are taking longer than others, there are ways to help.

​

DIR/Floortime is an evidence-backed, play-based, respectful method of building on strengths while acknowledging and facing the reality of challenges head-on.

My work has a solid foundation in DIR/Floortime and the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics. I also use Cognitive Behavioural, Mindfulness, Play, and Art therapy techniques.​
