I completed my PhD in clinical and forensic psychology at Simon Fraser University and my Masters of Science in clinical psychology at Pacific University in Oregon. My pre-doctoral internship/residency was completed at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton with clinical rotations in the Forensic, Schizophrenia, and Health Psychology services. I also completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship with joint appointments at the Mental Health, Law, and Policy Institute in the Department of Psychology at Simon Fraser University, the British Columbia Forensic Psychiatric Service Commission, and Protect International.

I am in private practice as a Registered Psychologist in British Columbia. My work involves clinical services, teaching, and research related to psychology and psychology-law. I hold an academic position as an Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Psychology at Simon Fraser University. I have worked in the past as a Psychologist for the BC Forensic Psychiatric Service Commission (BC Forensic Psychiatric Hospital) and as a Senior Psychology Advisor for WorkSafe BC.

I continue to be active in contributing to the scientific and professional literature on mental health, law and policy, and professional development of psychologists. I also remain active in professional service teaching and mentoring students and professionals and as a reviewer for journals in my area of practice.
