About me

I am a psychopedagogue with a Master’s degree in Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Early Intervention, and over five years of experience supporting children, families, and schools. My work is grounded in the belief that every child has the potential to thrive when provided with the right tools, guidance, and support. I specialize in the early identification and intervention of developmental challenges, helping families understand and respond to each child's unique learning and behavioral profile. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with children facing a wide range of neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, global developmental delay, and learning difficulties. My approach integrates evidence-based strategies, play-based techniques, and strong family involvement to create meaningful, personalized interventions that promote growth in emotional regulation, executive function, and school readiness. Whether in individual sessions or through collaboration with educators and caregivers, my goal is to foster inclusion, empowerment, and long-term positive outcomes for the children I work with. I’m passionate about building bridges between home, school, and therapeutic spaces, ensuring that each child receives the consistent support they need to reach their full potential.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Cognitive Behavioural HypnotherapyRecommended for those who want to combine the power of hypnosis with practical, structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to break habits or change negative thought patterns.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, holistic, and collaborative. I believe that each child is unique, and effective intervention requires understanding their individual strengths, challenges, and environment. I work closely with children, families, and educators to create tailored strategies that support cognitive, emotional, and social development in meaningful ways. I integrate evidence-based techniques grounded in neurodevelopmental science and early intervention principles, blending structured activities with play-based methods to engage children at their developmental level. Family involvement is a key part of my work—I prioritize open communication, coaching parents and caregivers to reinforce progress outside of sessions and empower them as active partners in the child’s growth. My sessions focus not only on addressing specific challenges, such as attention difficulties or learning delays, but also on building essential skills like executive functioning, emotional regulation, and resilience. By fostering a warm and supportive environment, I aim to help each child develop confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
