I am an associate professor of School Psychology in the Department of Education at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and I am also a Registered Psychologist and psychotherapist. I completed my MA and PhD in applied psychology at the University of Toronto (OISE). My research areas are stepmothering, rural mental health, and the process of therapy. I have recently become interested in the way people read and use self-help books to make sense of their lives.

My book Understanding Stepmothers: Women Share their Struggles Successes and Insights was published in May 2004 by HarperCollins Canada. Click on the book cover for more information for stepmothers.
