Kailee is completing her pre-doctoral residency at Riverwise Psychological Services under the supervision of Dr. Maaike Canrinus and Dr. Chantelle Quesnelle. Prior to joining Riverwise, she has had the privilege of working with children, youth, and families across schools, community clinics, private practice, and non-profit organizations.

Kailee aims to bring a warm, collaborative approach to her work, grounded in evidence-based practice, and centered on the goals and values of each family.
