Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist at Firefly Counselling and Consulting in the Edmonton/Sherwood Park area. I offer psychological assessment services that include psychoeducational/academic, gifted/IQ, ADHD, mental health, personality, and other assessments. I also provide counselling for depression, anxiety, school and academic concerns, ADHD, grief/loss, stress, interpersonal issues, and other concerns that can make it difficult for individuals to achieve their goals and live their desired lives. I am a graduate of the University of Alberta’s MEd in Counselling Psychology and BSc (Hons) in Psychology programs. I worked at both private and university clinics over the course of my clinical training. In addition to my clinical practice, I have experience in conducting research and developing self-help resources in psychology. Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, kayaking, and skydiving.
