I have acquired over 20,000 client-hours of direct clinical experience. I have run depression-treatment psycho-education groups in Outpatient Psychiatry at Vancouver General Hospital. I was a university instructor for a decade, teaching thousands of graduate and undergraduate students in four different universities and academic departments of Communication Studies and Counselling Psychology. I have acted as a mentor for practicum and internship students beginning their careers as well as a teacher for professionals engaged in career development. I have been a consultant on Intergenerational and Intercultural communications. I have spoken at corporate events on the subjects of burnout, corporate divorce, family succession, major life transitions, high-stakes decision-making, and existential crises.
Foundation
-
As a university instructor I taught all of the major theories of counselling psychology. As a practitioner I attempt to keep up on the literature and remain well-versed, however my professional focus applies cognitive behaviour therapy, attachment-based therapy, psychodynamic psychology, positive psychology, existential theory, family systems theory, and mindfulness.
