"Nature has given us all the pieces required to achieve exceptional wellness and health but has left it to us to put these pieces together." — Diane McLaren

I am a DHA-certified Clinical Psychologist with a specialized focus on neurodevelopmental disorders in children and their associated comorbidities. Over the past six years, I have dedicated myself to the intricate art and science of child development and psychotherapy. My career has been marked by extensive experience in conducting comprehensive psychological assessments of children and adolescents. These assessments are crucial for diagnostic clarification, educational classification, and crafting tailored treatment plans.

My proficiency lies in evidence-based clinical psychology practices. I am well-versed in sophisticated therapeutic and evaluation techniques, and I bring a deep sensitivity to multicultural issues into my practice. This expertise allows me to administer a variety of standardized tests, including SIT-4, WPPSI IV, WISC-V, WAIS IV, and WIAT-4, as well as specialized tests and scales like CBCL for assessing ADHD, Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Learning Disabilities, Anxiety Disorders, and Behavioral Disorders in children.

In therapy, I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with children, Play therapy, and Group therapy, adapting these approaches to meet the unique needs of each child. Furthermore, I am committed to education and prevention, regularly conducting teacher training webinars on psychological issues and practical interventions in school settings.

As a proud member of the American Psychological Association (APA), I uphold the highest standards of my profession. My promise to you is to lead with the utmost competence, employing the most effective, evidence-based approaches from Clinical Psychology to support your child’s psychological and behavioral development, in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team at the American Wellness Centre.
