Kelly Pallikaris, B.A., M.Ed., GrDip
Behaviour Therapist
I try to bring compassion, patience, and encouragement into every interaction. My goal is to create a supportive environment where children feel safe to explore, learn, and express themselves. I also aim to provide families with practical tools and strategies they can use in everyday life to help their children thrive emotionally and developmentally. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, baking, snowboarding, and spending quality time with friends and family.
