Hello and welcome! I am a Registered Psychologist, a Permanent Professionally Certified Teacher, and Avery’s mom. I have over 20 years of combined experience working with struggling students and their families as a teacher, a learning strategist, a guidance counselor, a public educator, an advocate, and a school psychologist.

I am incredibly passionate about helping kids to experience success through the assessment process. I am equally passionate about helping parents and teachers learn new ways to support their students. Over the last 20 years, I have become something of an expert in ADHD and Learning Disabilities - particularly Dyslexia - and I regularly provide coaching and education for teachers, caregivers, and educational specialists in addition to conducting assessments. I also have extensive experience supporting twice exceptional gifted learners and students struggling with mood and anxiety disorders.

As a Parent Coach for the Centre for ADHD Awareness Canada (CADDAC), I support children and families with improving the behaviours associated with ADHD and the relationships in the home. I am also a Sessional Instructor at the University of Calgary, where I teach about Learning Disabilities as part of the Masters of Education program.

In the past 20 years I have developed a unique ability to combine my real-world experiences - as a teacher, a guidance counsellor, a parent, and a psychologist - with my professional practice. This allows me to approach my work with struggling students and their families from a place of empathy, insight, and expertise in order to set them up for success. I completed over 3000 hours of psychology training under the supervision of a skilled assessment psychologist JUST doing assessments at Foothills Academy Society in Calgary, one of the best when it comes to all things assessment related.

I am a member of the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) and the Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit Disorder (CHADD) organization. I get what it’s like to have a child struggle. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have!
