Before becoming a psychologist, I worked in various roles helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other special needs. This experience taught me to appreciate different ways of thinking and seeing the world.

I’ve been fortunate to work for a large school board since then, gaining a wide range of experiences. What I love most is learning about each person as a whole, understanding their strengths and challenges. When I assess someone, I focus on their strengths while figuring out how best to support their challenges.

Through my work as a psychologist and as a parent myself, I’ve learned how valuable this information can be. It helps advocate for individuals and sheds light on why they may experience difficult emotions and behaviors. Understanding the ‘why’ can make a big difference in how we support them.
