Clinical interests: About 70% of my clinical practice involves assessment. Referrals are from Court, community services, as well as self-referrals for children, youth, adults, and families. I conduct court-ordered assessments of parenting capacity, parenting time and decision-making, youth justice, mental health, and risk. Other referrals address questions related to neurodevelopmental disorders including fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). About 15% of my clinical practice involves intervention including individual psychotherapy for a range of referral questions including PTSD, mood, anxiety, and antisocial behaviour. I also conduct family therapy for resist/refuse dynamics following separation/divorce and other problems in family functioning. Finally, about 15% of my clinical practice involves education and workshops on a range of clinical issues.

Research interests: Although my work at Navigating Onward/LFCC involves primarily leadership and clinical work, I have undertaken both formal and informal program evaluations within the various programs, for grant projects, and at other agencies. These evaluations are essential to ensure the delivery of high quality empirically supported services.
