About Alyssa

“I strive to provide care that is respectful, culturally responsive, and tailored to each family's unique needs.”

I specialize in psychoeducational assessments for children and adolescents, with a focus on learning differences, ADHD, giftedness, and mood disorders. Through comprehensive assessments, I aim to help families better understand each child's unique learning profile, identify their strengths and areas of need, and provide recommendations that promote success at school and at home.

I am particularly interested in children's academic and emotional development, early intervention, as well as parenting support and education. I also value collaborating with caregivers and school staff to create supportive environments that help students reach their full potential.

While my current focus is psychoeducational assessment, I am also expanding my clinical training by providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. As a graduate student, I enjoy exploring different areas of practice as I continue to develop my clinical skills and grow as a psychologist.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, strengths-based, and culturally sensitive. I recognize that cultural expectations, family dynamics, and lived experiences can shape how individuals view learning, mental health, and well-being. I strive to provide care that is respectful, culturally responsive, and tailored to each family's unique needs.

Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, reading, and trying new sourdough recipes. When visiting home in BC, I value quality time with my family and our dog, spending time at the lake, and learning recipes from my grandma to bring back into my own kitchen.
