I am an Associate Professor at the University of Regina Faculty of Social Work, Saskatoon Campus. In addition to my academic position I am a practicing, AAMFT certified individual, couple and family therapist.

I study couple and family therapy, mental health, substance use and misuse, trauma, and medical assistance in dying. I am interested in how social issues like conspiracy theories, misinformation, hustle culture, and capitalism impact relational well-being
