Vancouver | Assistant Professor | Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.)
I teach courses in psychopharmacology, neuropsychology, research methods, and statistics. I use evidence-based problem-solving approaches to teaching, in order to foster critical thinking and facilitate the acquisition of lifelong learning in my students. My aim is to teach students to be savvy consumers of research and to encourage their development of evidence-informed research and practice.
As a professor, I find that I also learn from the unique perspectives of my students. As part of my teaching, I encourage students to actively produce research, present at conferences, and publish, when possible. In this way, I encourage students to become active and have an impact in their field of study.
My research interests lie in the intersection the multiple domains of clinical psychology, epidemiology, psychopharmacology, and neuropsychological assessment, and are focused on understanding the brain and behaviour relationship. Through the lens of meta-analysis, my work has examined research in Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and various psychiatric conditions. In addition, I have collaborated on research projects investigating the effect of psychotropic medications on primary symptoms and neurocognitive functioning. I am passionate about my research contribution, whether directly or via supervising graduate-level dissertations.

Adler University in Vancouver has been, like Canada itself, born and built with an open mind. Located in the midst of one of the world’s most exciting and breathtaking cities, Adler University reflects a true Canadian spirit. It’s smart, inclusive and determined to make a world of difference. By design, our Vancouver campus echoes the Adler values and intent down every hall and in every room. It is built to live, breathe and inspire those with the passion to pursue a more just society. This is where the work gets done.
At Adler Vancouver, you’ll find multiple collaborative areas with the absolute latest technology. Learning areas and windows have literally been situated to stimulate thought. To some, that may sound odd, but these things do matter. If students are given the space, opportunity and technology to achieve their goals, they are more likely to rock the boat of conventional thought.
