Training and Consultation
Do you and your staff serve people experiencing complex mental health and substance use disorders?
Are you tired of various experts that say they are “evidence-based” but their recommendations are impractical and not connected to the realities of your service, the work environment, or the people you serve?
Are you frustrated by clinical experts that talk with authority but can’t seem to back up their claims with actual papers or references?
Our training, education, and consultation services are grounded in evidence-based practice, integrating:
The best available scientific research
The unique needs, values, and preferences of your clients
The realities and constraints of your specific clinical or organizational setting

Non-profits, start-ups, and independent helping professionals can have diverse budgets and resources available for learning and development. Rates are typically $255/hr, which is similar to the BC Psychological Association’s fee schedule for consultation services. However, I offer a discount on my hourly rate for larger contracts and I can work on a sliding scale or pro bono in some situations. We can develop a plan together to best meet your unique learning needs as well as your training budget.
Contact me for tailored pricing as well as availability for workshops and ongoing consultation projects.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist. I trained at Queen’s University and Dalhousie University and completed my doctoral residency at The Royal in Ottawa. My research has always focused on substance use health, particularly on the intersection with mental health. I have presented at local, regional, national and international conferences on leading practices in concurrent disorders.
I am dedicated on ongoing education and reflective practice. For me this has meant getting additional training and certifications at places such as:
• The Beck Institute- specifically in treating substance use disorders
• Certification in CBT from the Canadian Association for Cognitive Behavioral Therapies
• Certification in Seeking Safety- an evidence based approach for treating substance use, trauma, or both
• Recognition as a trainer in Motivational Interviewing by the Centre for Collaboration, Motivation, and Innovation and membership in the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers
• Ongoing training in Community Reinforcement and Family Training which includes Level 1 Certification in the Invitation to Change Approach by the Centre for Motivation and Change
• Ongoing training and participation as a Dialectical and Behavior Therapy trainer
• Certification in the Flinders Model of Chronic Disease Management
I am also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology and a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia. I teach and supervise Psychiatry Residents and Clinical Psychology trainees in evidence-based psychotherapies part-time at a local teaching hospital.
