Clinical interests: The Prevention and Early Intervention Program for Psychoses (PEPP) is an outpatient clinic serving adolescents and adults experiencing a first episode of psychosis. Psychology has a dynamic role within this team, providing individual and group therapy, cognitive assessment, consultation, outreach, as well as program evaluation and research. In terms of intervention, the psychologist provides individual psychotherapy using an integrative approach.
