Clinical interests: Clinically, my main interests are in the treatment of eating disorders, anxiety, OCD and PTSD. I work exclusively with adults in the area of mental health. I strongly believe in the importance of empirically supported treatments and in ensuring the availability of these treatments. My primary theoretical orientation is cognitive behaviour therapy and I am focused on continual improvement of my CBT practice. I am also very interested in the training of clinicians and students in the use of CBT. I place importance on the use of
manualized treatments. For example, I am currently undergoing training and supervision in Cognitive
Processing Therapy, a manualized based treatment for PTSD.

Research interests: Dissemination of empirically support treatments, the use of stepped-care, and how to best utilize and enhance exposure based procedures in the treatment of eating disorders (e.g. how to use mirror exposure in eating disorders effectively in order to target body avoidance). Further, I have interest in targeting factors associated with treatment outcome and attempting to change them in order to improve treatment outcome. For example, intervening to increase rates of rapid response in treatment as this has shown to be a significant predictor of treatment outcome. Over the past several years I have been involved in the planning and implementation of a randomized controlled trial comparing 10 session vs 20 session CBT treatment for eating disorders.
