Find A Psychologist in White City, SK.

As a registered psychologist I highly value therapy that is based in the tradition of empirical science. Psychology has a history of seeking empirical recognition and as a practicing psychologist I have further integrated objectivity as a personal value. Thus, I am attracted to evidenced-based approaches, but I also see a need for strategies that are perceived to be practical. These objectives attracted me to ACT. ACT's dynamic approach to values, acceptance, compassion, defusion, living in the present moment, and the observing self initially can look complicated, but they are easily integrated because they are inherently practical and they fit with the average person's real life experience.

As a practicing Registered Psychologist with Authorized Practice Endorsement (APE) and extensive training and experience with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I hold strong assessment and trauma treatment skills. I spend the first few sessions asking a variety of questions to help identify any factors that may be contributing to your difficulties. You will then be provided with evidence based treatment options based on your unique needs and goals. I also provide mental health assessments, ADHD assessments, and intellectual disability assessments to children, adolescents and adults.

I do not believe in a "one size fits all" or cookie cutter approach to counselling. I provide an individualized plan and support based on your unique needs and situation in a judgement free atmosphere. I take into account your goals and unique life situation to help build a plan that is right for you. As a Registered Psychologist I work with adults, couples, teens, parents and children both in person and online. I would be happy to chat with you to determine if my approach suits your needs.

I have been a Registered Psychologist affiliated with the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists for a period of 16 years. I have worked within both the public and private sectors. As a Psychologist, I adhere to ethical guidelines and standards of practice established by the Canadian Psychological Association and the College to ensure appropriate care of the clients I serve. The primary ethical consideration of psychologists is to do no harm to their clients; thus, it is of utmost importance to me to ensure that I am practicing within my areas of training and competence. When I consider an issue to be out of my scope of practice, I will provide clients with a referral to another practitioner who is better able to serve them.
