Meet Kate
Hello
My name is Kate
My passion is supporting children, adolescents, and adults through psycho-educational assessments. I hold a Master of Education in School and Applied Child Psychology from the University of Calgary, and am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at California Southern University. I have extensive experience working in private practice and educational settings, empowering individuals and families to better understand their unique strengths and needs through comprehensive, personalized evaluations. I take a holistic and strength-based approach, addressing learning, developmental, and social-emotional needs with care and precision.
