A graduate of the University of Alberta (B.A. 1991) and University of Saskatchewan (M.A. 1997, Ph.D. 2001) and a full-practice member of the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists (Reg. #526, 2002 – present), Marc has been with Kinetik since 2002.  Marc’s work includes assessment and treatment of clients’ mental health in relation to injuries sustained in their motor vehicle or workplace accidents.  The mental health problems Marc commonly sees include depression, vehicular anxiety, PTSD, fear of pain and/or re-injury, and difficulty with adjustment to losses/changes post-injury.  Marc strongly believes that close collaboration with clients, other members of the Kinetik clinical teams, and various other stakeholders (including clients’ families, family physicians, and insurers) yields the best opportunity for a successful rehabilitation outcome. 

Marc has also spent time working in the Departments of Clinical Health Psychology (2007-08), and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (2020-23). 

Beyond clinical work, Marc has supervised extensively, including psychologists in the process of completing their provincial registration, junior Ph.D. students from the University of Saskatchewan, and senior Ph.D. students from the Saskatoon and area Psychology Residency Program, housed in the Saskatchewan Health Authority.  Presently, he serves as Chief Psychologist in the residency.

Outside of his clinical and supervisory work, Marc has lectured to graduate students on issues related to working with third-party payers, and professional identity development, and he has lectured to front-line interdisciplinary healthcare providers on how to work effectively with challenging patients.
