Who am I?
I am a Registered Psychologist specializing in Individual Therapy and Assessment. I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology and 8 years of counselling and assessment experience. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR therapy to work with individuals, guiding them in creating positive lasting change. Assessment involves an in-depth process to determine any relevant diagnoses and recommendations while looking at each individuals strengths and areas requiring support.
My areas of experience include: Clinical assessment and diagnosis, trauma, parenting strategies, behavioural strategies, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy working with parents and schools to accurately assess and diagnose children so that they are able to receive the supports they require to achieve their full potential.
I believe in a collaborative approach, encouraging co-development of goals, as well as the importance of feedback in order to ensure your needs are being met.
I grew up in a military family, moving around the world until settling in Cold Lake in 1996. I have lived in Cold Lake, Ottawa, The Netherlands, Labrador and cities within Alberta (Camrose, Edmonton, and Calgary) while completing my schooling and registration process.
