Registered Psychologist (CAP) & Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCPA)
Neurodiversity-affirming, evidence-based care
In person & virtual across Alberta

Children don't always have the words for what they're feeling, but they show us through play, behaviour, and connection. We offer warm, affirming support for children, working closely with caregivers so progress carries over to home and school.

What child psychology can help with

We support children and their families with a wide range of concerns:

  • Big feelings, worries, and emotional regulation
  • Behavioural and social challenges
  • Anxiety, sadness, or withdrawal
  • School-related stress and transitions
  • Neurodevelopmental differences, including ADHD and autism
  • Parenting strategies and connection at home

How we approach child psychology

Children engage best through play, so we incorporate games and activities to help them feel safe and understood. Our approach is attachment-based and neurodiversity-affirming:

  • Play-based and relational interventions
  • Building emotional regulation and coping skills
  • Close collaboration with parents and caregivers
  • Strengths-focused, never deficit-focused

We see each child's unique wiring as part of who they are — not something to fix. Care is built around their strengths.

What to expect

We begin by understanding your child and family, then create a plan that builds on your child's strengths. Parents are involved throughout, with practical ways to support regulation and connection at home.

Who it's for

Children and teens who are struggling emotionally, behaviourally, socially, or developmentally — and parents who want a compassionate, affirming, practical approach.
