Clinical interests: My clinical interests include the assessment and treatment of children and youth with mood and anxiety disorders, and the differential diagnosis and treatment of common comorbid conditions. The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Care Outpatient Program provides assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with primarily internalizing difficulties (mood and anxiety). Evidence-based individual and group therapies are offered, with parents typically included in treatment. My primary theoretical model is cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). All cases, however, are also conceptualized from a developmental and systems perspective, and other approaches are integrated as clinically indicated (e.g., DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Collaborative Problem-Solving).
