Hi! We are so happy you’re here.
Professional: My passion is helping children experience a true sense of connection and belonging. I believe every child deserves to feel seen, understood, and supported. In my work, I strive to assist families in making sense of what is happening for their child—emotionally, behaviourally, and academically—and guide them toward a healthier, more empowered path forward.
I am a Registered Psychologist with experience practicing in both Canada and the United States. I currently offer services in Victoria and Calgary, where I specialize in Psycho-Educational Assessments, Gifted Assessments, ADHD testing, Capacity Assessments, and PWD / CCBC assessments. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in helping families access meaningful insights and practical strategies that can make a real difference in a child’s daily life and long-term development.
Personal: Outside of work, I love traveling, reading, and spending time connecting with friends. I am also a mother and know first-hand how challenging and rewarding parenting can be—this personal experience informs my work and strengthens my commitment to supporting families with empathy and practical guidance.
At Coastal Minds Psychology Collective, we believe that understanding a child’s unique strengths and challenges is the first step toward helping them thrive. We provide comprehensive psychological assessments to give families the clarity they need to support their child’s learning, behaviour, and development.
Our assessments provide meaningful insights and actionable recommendations tailored to each child’s needs. Whether a child is struggling with attention, emotional regulation, academic performance, or social skills, our evaluations offer clear answers and practical strategies to support growth both at home and in school. By working closely with parents, educators, and other professionals, we ensure that every child receives the tools and support they need to reach their full potential.
