Areas of Research
I'm an award-winning supervisor who loves working with students and helping them grow. My research focuses on eating disorders, subclinical eating pathology, and body image in pre-teens, teens, and adults. The overarching aim of my research program is to increase our understanding of eating disorders and related phenomena in an effort to diminish the burden of these pervasive, debilitating problems. Some of my research on psychological interventions pertains to implementation science.
Supervising degrees
Working with this supervisor
I supervise students in our CPA-accredited Clinical Psychology program who are passionate about eating disorders and body image research.
Update: I will not accept any new clinical psychology graduate supervisees (MSc or PhD) to start in fall 2026.
Prior to contacting me, please check program eligibility requirements to ensure you meet them and familiarize yourself with my work. Because I get more requests to meet than I can accommodate, I don't meet with prospective students before reviewing graduate applications. Feel free to email me any specific questions you may have about my research, however.
