Clarity Creates Confidence.


Whether you're a parent seeking answers, an athlete looking to level up, or an adult trying to make sense of focus and motivation struggles — you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Every person’s journey is unique. At times, that path may include challenges such as performance pressure, difficulty focusing, or emotional struggles that can feel isolating and overwhelming. Whether you're an athlete experiencing mental blocks on the field, an adult navigating ADHD symptoms, or a parent seeking answers about your child’s learning needs, you don’t have to go through it alone.

As a Registered Provisional Psychologist and Sports Psychology Specialist, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where we can work together to explore these experiences. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and evidence-based, tailored specifically to support your goals—whether that’s gaining clarity through an ADHD assessment, building mental resilience in sport, or helping your child thrive through a psychoeducational evaluation.

I understand that life can bring moments of anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt—especially when external pressures mount. You may feel disconnected, misunderstood, or uncertain about the next step. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, and help you build the tools, insight, and confidence to move forward with purpose and clarity.

Together, we will focus on practical strategies that empower long-term growth, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of self—whether you're navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or seeking to optimize your performance in sport or school.

If you're ready to take that next step, I invite you to book a free 30-minute consultation. Let’s explore what healing could look like for you.
