Find A Psychologist in Edmonton, AB.

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.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an approach related to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that is based in science. Using ACT, I aim to help you increase your psychological flexibility, enabling a more adaptable set of emotional responses to your current difficulties. By learning about yourself, you will better be able to act as your own mentor and have more resilience in managing future difficulties. Throughout therapy, we will explore, values, goals, mindfulness (present-centeredness), thoughts, and feelings that may be holding you back and those that may be motivating as well.

There largely remains a stigma in our society about seeing a psychologist. Therefore, when individuals, couples, or families experience a problem, they are liable to keep it to themselves or at most, share with trusted allies. Unfortunately, there can be several limitations to doing so - we are often hesitant to share freely with even those with whom we feel close. It's here that the psychologist has something to offer: a safe, non-judgmental place where rapport can be built on confidentiality, mutual respect and sensitivity. Bringing pertinent, thorough, and efficious training, the psychologist meets the client where they're at and facilitates collaborative solutions to presenting problems.

As a psychologist I have been trained to understand and continue to study the relationship between the brain, the nervous system, personality and behavior.
