Serving Children and Adults Since 2009
Professional child and adult child psychological services with the backing of over twenty years experience working with children and their families. I am professionally affiliated with the college of Alberta Psychologists (#3250) and the Psychologist’s association of Alberta. I live in Carstairs, and my clinic is in Airdrie. I serve clients in Airdrie, Carstairs, Didsbury, Olds, Sundre, and other surrounding towns. I bring the latest psychological knowledge and techniques and tailor them to your specific need. I do all my work through Hexagon Psychology
I have specific training and experience in the identification and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder, Anger Management, Stress Learning Difficulties, Dyslexia, Intellectual Disabilities, Emotional-Self-Control, Anxiety, Depression, Giftedness, and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Most of my work in comes from adults and parents concerned about school performance or emotional regulation. I conduct assessments to help get to the root of these issues and help to make improvements.
The provision of quality, timely, and appropriate service is a goal I seek to meet at all times. I value excellence and will do my best to ensure that the assistance provided meets your expectations.
Services are provided in accordance with the College of Alberta Psychologists Code of Ethics and regulating guidelines.
I am also registered in BC, NWT, NU, MB, PEI, and NL and am able to provide virtual assessment services to those provinces as well as NS and NB.

Testing and analysis of strengths and weaknesses including working memory, processing speed, verbal skills, and perceptual skills. Knowing this information allows teaching in ways that enhance success.
Consultation
Need help figuring out what to do next? I provide psychological consultation services for adults parents, guardians, and educators on how best to support your child. I am able to take various sources of information from doctors, speech pathologists, schools, and others and integrate the information into a plan that will best meet your goals for your child.
