RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am a registered psychologist whose primary research interests lie mainly in the areas of sexual health, violence in relationships, and attachment, intimate relationships and mental and relational well-being. Recently, I have become interested in the development of internal working models and psychophysiology. I work with adolescents, adults and couples in private practice. My clinical work informs my research and vice versa. I love collaborating and have conducted research with others at Acadia University (i.e., Drs. Diane Holmberg, Zelda Abramson, Michael Leiter, Peter McLeod, Doug Symons), at other universities (i.e., Drs. Natalie Rosen (Dal), Arla Day (SMU) and Enrico DiTommaso (UNB)) and psychologists in the community (i.e., Drs. Angela Connors and Eileen Donahoe, and Steve Gleich).
