Welcome…
Hi! My name is Doris and I am a registered psychologist practicing in Edmonton, Alberta. Over the past decade, 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.
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.
