Hello! My name is Libera, and I am a PhD student in the counselling psychology program at the University of Calgary. I completed my master’s degree in clinical psychology in Japan, which is where I’m originally from. Before starting my PhD, I spent time working with preschool and school-age children and families to provide developmental assessments and counselling. At Koru, I aim to provide strengths-based assessments that offer meaningful insights into each individual’s unique strengths. I strive to support individuals and families throughout the assessment process so that they feel seen and understood. I am excited to work collaboratively with learners of all ages so that they meet their full potential. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, exercising, and doing crafts!

If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, you’re not alone—and I can help. I know firsthand how tough parenting can be. I also know what’s happening inside kids’ heads when they seem impossible to figure out. For over 25 years, I’ve worked with kids, teens, and parents to boost resilience, confidence, learning, and overall well-being.

In my specialized assessments, I help parents and teachers understand kids’ strengths, where they struggle, and how to support them in the best way possible. My goal is to make learning feel easier and equip families with tools that actually work.

Hi! I’m Michelle

I am a doctoral student in Counselling Psychology at the University of Calgary, with a background in teaching, counselling, and research. My experience in education has given me an appreciation for the different ways children, youth, and emerging adults learn and the challenges they may encounter throughout their educational journeys.

Through psychological and psychoeducational assessments, I hope to help individuals and families better understand their unique strengths, challenges, and learning needs. I take a warm, collaborative, strength-based and individualized approach, recognizing that each person brings their own experiences, abilities, and perspectives.

My goal is to provide meaningful insights and practical recommendations that support learning and wellbeing.

I provide assessments under the supervision of Dr. Caroline Buzanko, Registered Psychologist.
