Overview
About
Prior to assuming the role as Coordinator of the Internship Program in Psychology my career was in Children's Mental Health as Director of Research at a local mental health facility and then with the Alberta Mental Health Board. Areas of interest included eating disorders, family therapy, and alternative methods of treatment such as acupuncture. Although not directly involved in research now, as Coordinator of the Internship Program in Psychology, I enjoy learning about diverse topics in psychology by advising on students' research projects, including neurofeedback, group therapy, and mindfulness.
