Hello, my name is Keelin, and I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta with a Master’s in Educational Psychology and extensive experience supporting neurodiverse individuals. I have numerous years of experience assessing, addressing, and supporting individuals' social, emotional, academic, and developmental needs across the lifespan. I am a lifelong advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities and am passionate about working from a strengths-based and client-centered model. I have worked in education, residential settings, and post-secondary environments, focusing on breaking down barriers for successful transitions. I now offer counselling services in addition to psychoeducational assessments.  

I work collaboratively with clients, focusing on identifying and building on their strengths while supporting the development of healthy, meaningful relationships.  I aim to meet each person where they are, respecting their individual pace, experiences, and perspective.  I create a space where quirks and unique traits are not just accepted but valued, recognizing them as part of what makes

each client who they are. Through this approach, I strive to foster trust, growth, and a sense of authenticity in the work we do together. 

I became a psychologist because I find deep meaning in the connections I build with the people I work with. Being part of a client’s journey – witnessing their growth, celebrating their successes, and supporting them through challenges – is incredibly fulfilling to me. I am passionate about helping people better understand themselves, uncover their strengths, and make sense of their experiences. Seeing clients gain insight, grow in confidence, and truly flourish is what continues to inspire and motivate my work every day.
