Registered Psychologist (#4818); BComm, MC, PhD
I support clients with a tough-love & no-nonsense approach – to identify and tackle the core things keeping you stuck. It’s the optimal combination of connection & direction. My specialty areas: ADHD, executive functioning, OCD, giftedness, twice-exceptionality, PTSD, and addiction. I have official competency in both formal assessment and intervention – a somewhat rare and extremely important factor in optimizing outcomes. I offer premium services to elite performers (i.e., physicians, entrepreneurs, lawyers, executives) – see Deluxe Services menu. I offer forensic psychological services under Alberta Court of King’s Bench Practice Notes 7 & 8 – see Forensic Services menu. Let’s get this done.
Throughout the work, I am constantly triaging – identifying what the core targets are. I provide services extremely fluidly, with an ability to pivot in real-time, rather than wasting time on targets that are simply red herrings. I will ask you very difficult questions and hold space for you to challenge yourself to be honest with yourself – change is here.
As a former police officer, a mother to 3 neurodivergent children, and a very high-functioning ADHD’er myself, I understand how complex and tough life can be. Let’s find that grit and get going – to ask the right questions that will lead to the right actions. Here we go!
