About Me

Biography

I completed my doctoral studies in Clinical Psychology at McGill University in Montreal.  During that time, I provided clinical services at a variety of hospital clinics in Montreal, including the Eating Disorders program at the Douglas Hospital, where I did my residency.  Subsequently, I was employed as a postdoctoral fellow at The Ottawa Hospital, where I provided psychological services at both the HIV program and the Eating Disorders clinic.  I then worked as a psychologist in private practice at the Centre for Cognitive Therapy in Ottawa.  I currently work part time at Connexion Family Health Team.

I am a member of both the College of Psychologists in Ontario and the Order of Psychologists in Quebec.  I have given guests lectures in undergraduate psychology classes at McGill University on the topics of personality and interpersonal behaviour, and supervised undergraduate research students.  I have published a number of scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, mostly on the topics of eating disorders and interpersonal behaviour.
