Clinical interests: The Operational Stress Injury (OSI) Clinic is an ambulatory clinic that provides services to eligible veterans, RCMP, and active military members at Parkwood Institute, St. Joseph’s Healthcare London. The most common presenting concerns include posttraumatic stress, major mood difficulties, and substance-use problems.
