Or we see a problem in our community or a gap in services, but aren’t sure how to address it. Consultation services provide expert guidance and support tailored to help you build capacity, address challenges, and foster sustainable growth. I can help you to identify areas and pathways for improvement, in developing new programs or structures, and/or evaluating existing ones.


Psychological Assessments

Assessments can be used to guide treatment, allow access to funding, allocate resources, and provide psychiatric diagnoses. I offer psycho-educational, cognitive, clinical/diagnostic, forensic risk, and immigration + refugee assessments. These may l... Read More

Clinical Consultation + Supervision

For individual clients and organizations. In areas with limited mental health resources we often end up stretching ourselves thin to meet the needs of our community. I support this work with treatment planning, offering case specific guidance and feedback, developing skills, considering psychological concerns and diagnoses, formulating a case conceptualization, debriefing, or resource referral.

Can be combined with Clinical Consultation for case specific guidance. Topics can include Mental health, therapy skills, decolonial mental health frameworks, trauma/PTSD, research methods, trauma-and-violence informed practice, suicide, sexua... Read More

I’m passionate about integrating different forms of knowledge in research and each project has its on unique and individualized design. I offer both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
