Whether someone is seeking clarity around a lifelong struggle, exploring a possible diagnosis, trying to support a loved one, or seeking insight into how their mind works, Tanya offers a thorough and thoughtful assessment process. With lived experience with ADHD, and as the mother and advocate for her neurodivergent and twice-exceptional children, Tanya is especially committed to working with people who have felt misunderstood or overlooked in traditional systems. Her assessments are designed to do more than identify a diagnosis — they shine a light on individual strengths, resilience, and the practical steps that can make a real difference going forward.

Tanya utilizes a collaborative, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach to psychoeducational and psychological assessment, drawing on over 20 years of experience across schools, post-secondary institutions, private practice, and First Nations communities to help clients gain clarity about both their challenges and their unique abilities.

Beyond her professional work, Tanya is a proud mom of three neurodivergent and twice-exceptional boys who have both struggled and thrived in education depending on their environment. Their experiences continue to fuel her passion for inclusive education and advocacy for neurodiversity-affirming practices.

Tanya is adventurous and fun-loving, having lived in Australia and travelled widely, including African safaris. She finds joy in nature, movement, and spending meaningful time with family and friends. At home, she shares life with two cats, a bearded dragon, and a three-legged pit bull rescue. Her hobbies include camping, nature walks, reading, baking, cooking, and gardening.

Tanya also identifies as neurodivergent herself and has diagnoses of ADHD (Combined Presentation) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which deepens her understanding and empathy in both her personal and professional life.
