Find A Psychologist in Wellington, AB.

As a psychologist, I am specifically trained to help clients share their stories and emotions, recognize problematic behaviour patterns, teach valuable skills, and challenge negative thoughts in order to promote personal growth. I provide a professional and non-judgemental ear when clients need a outside or knowledgeable outlet. It is my pleasure to use humour, gentle guidance, thought challenges, and customized therapeutic approaches to help my clients overcome adversity and move forward in their lives.

I’m a bilingual registered psychologist, and I offer sessions in both French and English. I love supporting adults and first responders as they navigate life’s challenges with warmth and understanding. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I recognize how past experiences can shape how we feel, think, and connect with others today — often in ways we don’t even realize. Together, we’ll create a safe, trusting space to explore what you’ve been through with compassion rather than judgment. I see reactions like shutting down, feeling on edge, or disconnecting, not as flaws, but as ways your system has tried to keep you safe. In our work, you’ll learn gentle ways to calm your body, understand your emotions. The focus isn’t on what’s “wrong” with you, but on what’s happened to you.

As a psychologist, I take a warm, collaborative, and holistic approach. I draw from evidence-based therapies like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to support emotional well-being, build practical life skills, and strengthen self-compassion. My goal is to help you navigate challenges, improve relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel supported, explore your values, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to working with clients is in the first counselling session to get a detailed understanding of the symptoms regarding mental health that you identify with, and more specifically the impacts they have on your day to day functioning. Once the symptoms have been established the goal is then to work towards developing skills and strategies to help you manage those symptoms better and to improve your overall functioning.

Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. As an experienced Registered Psychologist I work with a variety of individuals. I have specialized training in working with special populations: children, couples, seniors; and with a variety of presenting concerns, including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships. I'm listening and here to help!

Everyday life presents us with different challenges, and not all challenges are easy to overcome. In order to preserve our mental and physical health, it is important to identify when the challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress. The next step in preserving your mental and physical health is making a decision to reach out and find a professional who will provide you with a safe environment; an environment where you will feel safe, comfortable, respected, listened to and understood. I want to provide you with that safe environment and give you the necessary support to deal with challenges you face. I want to give you time and space to share with me your thoughts, emotions, needs, desires, struggles, and questions.

I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help and the vulnerable place you are coming from. I myself have gone through counselling as part of my own journey. As a Registered Psychologist, I can offer you the peace of mind that I practiced for years under extensive supervision, passed several registered exams, and demonstrated the understanding and practice of a high standard of ethics in order to achieve my current status as Registered Psychologist. Let me help you by taking your goals and giving you practical steps towards achieving those goals-- be it relational goals, emotional goals, or just a goal of generally feeling better about yourself and your life!

I have extensive experience providing evidence-based treatment for trauma and emotional dysregulation, offered exclusively through secure virtual care. In our work together, I focus on teaching you practical psychological skills that you can use in everyday life—tools to calm overwhelming emotions, manage stress, and build healthier, more stable relationships. I also draw on proven approaches such as trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, and skills training from DBT. These methods are highly effective online, offering the same benefits as traditional in-person treatment.

People come to see me and I try to help them through listening with compassion and speaking from the heart. I hold space for the extraordinary and I keep secrets for a living. I am no-teacher no-healer no-doctor no-therapist. I am Paul. Most of what I know about helping people I learned from the people I have helped so far. Although I have a great formal education and helpful expertise to share, when I listen to someone speak of the facts of their experience, I am listening to the world's foremost expert on the topic. If I keep my mind open, this experience is the best education humanly possible.

My training as a psychologist has been continuous over the 30 years I have been in practice. Over the years my approach has included many different modalities and I believe it is important to be able to respect and incorporate my clients spiritual and religious values. I have advanced training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotional Based therapy and Couples therapy. I have advanced training in trauma work and am one of the leading practitioners in the Edmonton area for the military and veterans.

I am a registered psychologist who provides professional counselling services in St. Albert, Alberta. I help individuals and couples in areas such as: marriage and couple issues, communication and conflict resolution, life transitions, anxiety and panic, stress-related concerns, depression, trauma, loss/grief, and anger management.

Using a Registered Psychologist, such as myself, for your counselling, ensures that you will get a professional who has the breadth and depth of training to provide you with optimum treatment. In addition to my solid professional backing, my work with you will be heart-cantered and compassionate creating a conducive environment in which to make change.

My approach is based on multiple evidenced based theoretical perspectives. I integrate these perspectives into individualized treatments to cater to the unique circumstances of clients. The therapeutic relationship is essential for psychological change. Within this relationship the safety and security required to explore different perspectives is created.
