Faculty bio

My focus as a teaching professor and clinical psychologist is on teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in the Mental Health and Wellbeing  (undergraduate) and clinical streams (graduate). I teach in the areas of clinical psychology, theory of psychotherapy, and psychological disorders.

My research focuses on the broad relationships between cognition, substance use (cannabis and psychedelics in particular), personality, and youth. I am also interested in engaging students with active learning strategies in the classroom to provide a unique and useful educational experience in psychology. I am also the Director of the UVic Psychology Clinic. As a teaching professor, I do not supervise graduate students.
