Clinical interests: My clinical interests include the assessment and treatment of children and youth with mood and anxiety disorders, differential diagnosis and treatment of common comorbid conditions, and assessment of Autism Spectrum disorders. 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 th 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.
