Area of expertise
Teaching Stream, Clinical Psychology
My focus as a teaching professor and clinical psychologist is on teaching undergraduate courses in the Mental Health and Wellbeing stream. I teach in the areas of clinical psychology, theory of psychotherapy, and psychological disorders. My previous research focused on the broad relationships between cognition, substance use (cannabis 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. As a teaching professor, I do not supervise graduate students.
