Â鶹´«Ã½ My Research and Clinical Interests
As I work from a scientist-practitioner model, my research and clinical interests are closely aligned and inform each other. Originally having had a developmental focus in my training, I now take a lifespan perspective with a particular interest in adolescents and emerging adults. I strive to incorporate justice, equity, diversity and inclusion principles in my research, teaching and supervision, and clinical practice. My clinical and research interestsÌýand expertiseÌýare in the areas of e-mental health, trauma-based therapies, prevention and treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, severe mental illness, and substance use.
