#####Every child’s brain, whether neurotypical or neurodiverse, is super special. Kate’s specialty is helping it sparkle and shine.
Kate is passionate about supporting kids, teens, and their parents and families with the challenges that often come with neurodivergent brains, such as ADHD, autism, and learning differences. In her work with kids and teens, she uses a variety of strengths-based approaches, including narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help children and adolescents overcome challenges and grow towards their fullest potential.
Whether your child, adolescent, or family’s social, emotional, and relational challenge is smaller, like difficulty making friends and moving to a new school, or more complex, such as figuring out how to use your neurodivergent brain Superpowers, Kate believes in you. She is excited to meet you and your Superhero child or teen where you are, and can’t wait to see your sparkle grow and shine ever brighter.
