ARC Network
I earned my PhD in counselling psychology from McGill University. My primary research interests are three-fold: (1) the efficacy of mindfulness- and self-compassion -based techniques in first responder/public safety personnel, and veteran populations, (2) first responder/public safety personnel mental health, resilience, post-traumatic growth, and training, and (3) police interactions with those with mental illness.
I believe my research and clinical interests are interconnected. I’m interested in working with first responders, military veterans, and trauma-affected individuals, including those with dissociative disorders. I’m fascinated by the clinical benefits of mindfulness-based interventions in treating mental illness, enhancing psychological resilience, and promoting post-traumatic growth. I also enjoy helping clients use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to heal.
