My clinical experience includes ten years in community-based agencies providing short-term in-home assessment and treatment to families with multiple challenges, including two years on a multidisciplinary assessment/intervention team that provided in-depth assessments on high-risk families referred by Child Protection Services. I operated a part-time counselling practice in Vancouver for three years for Employee Assistance Program clientele and provided educational seminars on separation and divorce topics through the Law Courts Education Society.
