About me
From a young age I have always been eager to learn from others and hear their stories. I strongly believe that every person has a unique story to tell, one that is worthy of being heard. I love being able to work with each of my clients as unique individuals, and tailor my approach to best suit their needs. I also absolutely love the assessment process and with my background working in school settings I fully understand the need for psychoeducational assessments to determine a child’s learning needs and facilitate the process of them reaching their full potential.
I am a huge animal lover and honestly love all of them (spiders a little less than the rest though!). If I had to choose one, I’d say a dog because they are so affectionate and loyal. I plan to integrate animal therapy into my practice one day and I can’t wait to get a therapy dog of my own. I love being outdoors and enjoy hiking, taking my dog for walks, running, nature photography, and camping. I’m an avid runner and will be doing my third Two Oceans and second Comrades ultra-marathons this year.
