Meet Our Team

As a provisional psychologist, I support children, adolescents, adults, and families with both counselling and psychological assessment services here at TD Psychological Services. My clinical focus includes emotional regulation, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, trauma, self-esteem/self-image, therapeutic play, and psychological assessment.

I am particularly passionate about providing psychological assessment services to individuals of all ages. My knowledge and skills in the area of psychological assessment come from my time completing my Master of Education in School and Applied Child Psychology at the University of Calgary where I was trained in formal assessment. My time at the University of Calgary as well as my clinical experience as a provisional psychologist has provided me with detailed knowledge and practical skills in working with children and families and conducting psychological assessments. 

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings supporting children and families, including in the non-profit sector and educational settings. My time working in the non-profit sector allowed me to gain experience supporting children and families who are living with trauma, and experiencing barriers such as low income living, lack of housing, addiction issues, and more. It is here that I learned the importance of utilizing a trauma informed lens in my practice. My time supporting children in educational settingsprovided me with opportunities to support a wide range of children including children experiencing developmental disabilities, learning struggles, emotional disorders, trauma, and severe behavioral concerns.

I have a passion for providing counselling services to children and have completed my Certificate in Therapeutic Play Skills through the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute. My methods of conducting therapeutic play are based on the guiding principles of Child Centered play therapy and Adlerian play therapy. I utilize a variety of therapeutic play modalities in my work with children including sand tray, puppet work, art and creative techniques, therapeutic storytelling, and therapeutic games. My approach to therapeutic play is rooted in the belief that
play is a road map to a child’s inner world, and through play, children are able to communicate inner realities, process life events, and explore who they are, even when they do not have the words to do so.

In my work with adolescents and adults, I take a client-centered approach, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel supported and empowered. I believe in building a strong, trusting relationship to foster self-
awareness and growth. To meet each client's unique needs, I integrate evidence- based therapies such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). By combining these modalities with a client-centered lens, I help clients build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and make lasting, meaningful changes aligned with their values and goals.
