About

Mental Health Professional with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology. 5+ years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults with diverse mental health and developmental needs. My work is grounded in assessment-informed, evidence-based intervention, with a strong focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities, and emotional/behavioural challenges. I bring hands-on experience conducting DSM-5–aligned psychological and behavioural assessments using standardized tools such as WISC-IV, WAIS-IV, Woodcock-Johnson (III), Curriculum-Based Assessments, Beery-VMI, CAT, and TAT, with findings translated into individualized intervention and support plans across clinical, school, and community settings. My professional background includes one-to-one intervention, behavioural and skill-building programs, crisis support, and collaborative work with multidisciplinary teams, educators, and families. I am trained in ABA-informed strategies, CBT, trauma-informed care, and client-centred approaches, and I value practical, compassionate, and culturally responsive care. Currently based in Calgary, AB, I am completing my Canadian licensing requirements and am actively seeking opportunities in: • Assessment & testing support • Behavioural and developmental intervention • Mental health counselling (supervised / contract) • School, clinic, and community-based support roles I am particularly interested in organizations that value collaboration, ethical practice, and strengths-based support for neurodiverse individuals and their families. 📩 Open to full-time, part-time, contract, and supervised roles across Alberta.
