Associate Faculty
I am a Registered Psychologist who regularly teaches the Master of Counselling Psychology Students at CityU in Edmonton. I am currently teaching group therapy, theories of counselling, and grief therapy. In addition to this, I own my own clinical practice and specialize in treating individuals suffering from complex grief and trauma. The vast majority of my practice focuses on both perinatal populations and first responders. Finally, I also writer content for the Institute of Child Psychology and have webinars available through them.
Research
My research for my own Capstone was on advocating for specialized treatment of survivors of childhood abuse imagery online.
Teaching
I truly ascribe to the idea that knowledge is power. The more we understand mental health and illness, the more power we have to change it. Therefore, my work as both an instructor and as a clinician is to help guide individuals to understand. For this reason, I do not endorse a lot of didactic lecture in my classes. I try to incorporate experiential learning where ever possible to give students the opportunity to feel and deeply resonate with concepts.
