Find A Psychologist in Westlock, AB.

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 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.

I help clients by listening intently to what a client is struggling with in life. I try to formulate a complex understanding of what the problem is and then consider how best to address it. Once we have collaboratively identified the problem, we begin to strategize ideas for how to see change that is possible and sustainable for the client. There are many ways to find an adequate solution to a problem, but the point of working with a psychologist is to have these ideas tailored to your personality.

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.

As a psychologist I try to provide a safe, confidential environment within which my clients can explore their feelings and values.

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.

Psychology focuses on understanding our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours and making sense of our past, present, and future to understand more about why we are the way we are, but also to help shape growth into the type of life we want to live. Working with a psychologist means you will have the chance to learn more about yourself, understand long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, or acting, and take charge of your future. I draw from approaches including CBT, ACT, EFT and EMDR to help customize a plan that supports your unique goals. You can expect to leave each session with new insights or new ideas to put into practice to help you feel better and live life more fully outside of therapy sessions.
