I have been practicing as a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist in B.C. for 43 years. I was previously the Senior Psychologist at the Vancouver Health Dept. and the Director of Psychology at VGH (Shaughnessy). I was a consultant to the Family Justice Counselling Service (BC Attorney General) for 10 years and the National Parole Board of Canada. My clients these days see me primarily for parenting and post-separation problems. This can take the form of parenting assessments for the Court, consulting, and Parent Coordination. I am registered in BC. Equally importantly I am a husband, father and grandfather of 6.
My aim in my work is to assist in finding the healthiest and happiest parenting arrangement for the child.
Parenting is an important, meaningful but often stressful task. After a separation and divorce it brings out the best and worst in people. The children are the consumers in this situation and need the best arrangement and healthiest parents possible.
