I am a Registered Psychologist in the province of British Columbia (#2720). You can verify my registration with the college of psychologists here. I received a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2013. I completed my Clinical Psychology Residency at Vancouver Coastal Health in 2013. I also hold a Masters degree (received 2006) in counselling psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City.
I grew up in B.C.’s Lower Mainland area. I completed my undergraduate studies at McGill University in Montreal, graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology in 2003. In 2004 I relocated to the United States. After almost 20 years in the U.S. I decided to return home to B.C. to be closer to my family.
In addition to my focus on providing therapy and clinical work I have also conducted research on the psychological treatment of schizophrenia and related disorders. I have published some of this work in journals as well as presented at several conferences. In addition to maintaining a small private practice for individual clients I also work for the Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) program providing treatment and assessment to clients, as well as supervision, training and consultation to other healthcare professionals in the EPI program. Although I work for Fraser Health, this is a private website that represents my private practice thus all opinions, resources and content are my own- it is not representative of Fraser Health, any other health authority, or organization for whom I work.
