About

I have broad interests in pediatric health psychology (e.g., obesity prevention, eating disorders, stress and coping in children) but my primary area of research focuses on understanding the factors that lead to injuries (e.g., attitudes and beliefs, personality attributes, social-situational context) and developing evidence-based programs to target these determinants and prevent injuries to children and adolescents.

I work closely with community organizations who share these goals and can implement these prevention programs on a large scale. For more information about my research visit my lab website: Child Development Research Unit at cdru.uoguelph.ca In my clinical work I draw on a variety of modalities (e.g., ACT, EFT, EFFT, DBT, CBT) in working with children, teens, parents and families.
