Welcome...

Hi! My name is Doris and I am a registered psychologist practicing in Edmonton, Alberta. With over a decade of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and needs, including Autism Spectrum, mood disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), developmental delays, learning issues, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and sensory processing difficulties, among others.

As a therapist, my priority is to create a safe and trusting environment for my clients. I firmly believe that each person is the expert of their own experiences, and I highly respect each situation and all beliefs about personal change.

My therapeutic approach is accepting, inclusive, and practical. I welcome clients of all ethnic backgrounds, non-binary folks, and people of all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. I also provide individual counseling to clients of a wide age range and am committed to helping my clients and their support system come to understand and achieve their therapeutic goals.
