The majority of my time is spent providing psychological assessment, diagnostic formulations, and psychotherapy. I see both inpatient and outpatient adult patients. I provide both individual and group psychotherapy. I provide clinical training to hospital staff. I have provided training and supervision in psychotherapy to University of Toronto psychiatric residents. I provide clinical lectures to Northern Ontario School of Medicine psychiatric residents. I greatly enjoy my role and enjoy teaching.
