Workshops and Speaking Topics
Coping during Challenging Times
During times of unprecedented uncertainty and change, employees can feel anxious and frustrated. This workshop not only helps learners understand their reactions to change and other stressful events, but helps them identify their “lever points” to feel more empowered and manage stressors effectively.
Managing Stressful Situations at Work
Helping professionals have heard about burnout and likely have felt it to different extents too. This workshop provides a science-based understanding with an emphasis on practical strategies to help buffer the effects of many demands and stressors.
Caring about Someone who uses Substances
Approximately 50% of people report having a close friend or family member who has struggled with substance use. When someone you care about is experiencing problems due to their substance use it can feel overwhelming- and often affects both personal well-being and work performance.
Impacts of someone in a workplace struggling with substance use can also be staggering- whether that is the effect on workplace culture and morale, managing safety concerns, loss of production and/or absenteeism.
This talk reviews science-based approaches to supporting a person to make change more likely- as well as helping oneself. Supportive people can- and do- make a difference.
Understanding Anxiety
What is the difference between fear and anxiety? When does anxiety become a problem? What can you do about it? What are the most helpful ways to support someone who is struggling? This 60minute talk reviews the latest understanding of anxiety and helps people understand when challenges may require additional supports- and what they can do themselves.
Understanding Depression
What is the difference between sadness and depression? When does low mood become a problem? What can you do about it? What are the most helpful ways to support someone who is struggling? This 60minute talk reviews the latest understanding of mood and wellbeing. It helps people understand what challenges may require additional supports and how to empower themselves to take action.

This talk not only reviews the latest scientific understanding of how substance use disorders develop, and options for how to help oneself or a loved one, it reviews the importance of addressing stigma, as well practical language suggestions.

I understand that non-profits, start-ups, and independent helping professionals can have diverse budgets and resources available for learning and development. While I typically pricing similar to the BC Psychological Association’s fee schedule with a rate of $245/hr, I offer a discount on my hourly rate for larger contracts and I can work on a sliding scale. I will occasionally offer some pro bono services in unique 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 through the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers and Centre for Collaboration, Motivation, and Innovation.
• 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 ClAboutinical Psychology trainees in evidence-based psychotherapies part-time at a local teaching hospital.
