The breakdown of a relationship is difficult and confusing. You may experience worry, anger, loss or conflict. Under such circumstances, you might find it difficult to imagine a hopeful future. Lux Psychology specializes in helping families navigate the, often difficult, terrain of separation, divorce and if you have children, co-parenting. I am aware of the stress associated with the breakdown of a relationship and family problems. Where children are involved, I care, like you, about their emotional health.

You want compassion during this tough time and I am dedicated to providing responsive, individualized psychological care. I offer insight, reflection, guidance, honesty, and ways to disengage as alternatives to conflict. I can help you see that a “healthy” divorce is best measured in terms of psychological rather than physical separation. If there are children involved, I will help you (and your co-parent) keep your focus on your children’s point of view and on what they need now and moving forward as they adjust to living in a separated family. If there is a dynamic of control, I will see it.

I have created Co-Parenting College as an online resource to help you "Stay Sane, Be Wise, and Give Your Children What They Need."

​

As a Professional Psychologist, I provide assessment services, individual, relationship, and family counselling. 

​

I specialize in assessments where intimate partner violence is alleged. I hold specialty certification through IVAT (Institute on Violence, Abuse and Trauma) to assess domestic violence in family law contexts. In addition, I have trained with the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, Association of Family and Conciliation Courts and Battered Women's Justice Project on assessing domestic violence in families.  

​

I provide and have given expert testimony regarding divorce and the best psychological interest of children in both the Alberta Court of Justice and the Court of King’s Bench. I work with the College of Alberta Psychologists providing investigation and expert opinion reports with regard to whether a particular psychologist has met the minimum standards of practice expected by the College. I have also provided remedial training to psychologists mandated by the college to address areas in their practice that need change.

​

 I am a member of the College of Alberta Psychologists, the Psychological Association of Alberta, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (national and provincial chapters).
