Services

Assessment

I offer psychoeducational, diagnostic, social-emotional, and adaptive-behavioural assessments. Assessments may be conducted virtually or in- person, and the amount of time required depends on the specific assessment questions. We can discuss the information you’re hoping to learn from the assessment to decide the best scheduling for you and your child. I provide a comprehensive report within two weeks of completing the testing, at which point we meet to review the results and discuss recommendations. Assessments are billed hourly at my clinical rate.

Counselling

I provide counselling for children, teens, and their families. My work is client-centred, trauma-informed, and affirming. I provide support around understanding and managing big feelings, emotional awareness, and self-regulation. I also teach evidence-based social strategies for making and keeping friends, developing confidence, handling conflict, and building resiliency. I hold an ethic of care that meets the child and family where they are, and I work with the youth, their caregivers, and any other professionals involved (e.g., psychiatrists, teachers) to set up a plan that addresses everyone’s needs and concerns as best as possible.

Consultation

I provide consultation services for parents, caregivers, and educators who require psychological support and guidance on how to best support the children and teens in their care. Consultation may focus on developmentally appropriate expectations; evidence-based parenting or teaching practices; understanding neurodivergence; exploring gender and sexual diversity; and support strategies to facilitate social, emotional, adaptive, and behavioural development.

Workshops

I provide workshops in a variety of areas, including enhancing supports for LGBTQ+ teens, understanding gender diversity, neurodivergence, and supporting trans autistic clients. I provide professional development and training for school boards, organizations, professionals, and support personnel looking to develop their knowledge and skills in working with children and adolescents. Training may focus on a variety of areas, including general child development, the autism spectrum, learning difficulties, LGBTQ+ issues, gender creativity, and transgender health.

Clinical Supervision

I provide clinical supervision for provisional psychologists completing their supervised practice requirements. I also provide training and consultation for registered psychologists looking to enhance their skills in child & adolescent counselling, assessment, or gender care. Supervision may be case-based, short-term, or long-term. Prospective supervisees may contact me to explore whether it would be a good fit for us to work together.
