Experience

Carly provides comprehensive psychological care to children, adolescents, and their families. She has experience conducting neuropsychological assessments and delivering evidence‑based interventions for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, low mood, emotional dysregulation, behavioural challenges, trauma‑related difficulties, learning challenges, and neurodevelopmental conditions. Carly also has experience supporting families of children with complex medical and neurological conditions, such as neuroinflammatory diseases, early brain injuries, epilepsy, and genetic conditions.

Clinical Approach

Carly’s approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. She strives to create a safe, supportive space where children, youth, and families feel understood and empowered.

Her work is grounded in a biopsychosocial framework that considers the interplay between biological, psychological, and social influences on mental health. Carly tailors her care to each child and family’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. Carly also values interdisciplinary collaboration and regularly consults with medical teams, schools, and other providers to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care.

She draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and behavioural parenting strategies. Carly works flexibly and thoughtfully to understand the processes underlying a child’s difficulties, while supporting families to make meaningful and lasting change.
