Prospective Students

I like to surround myself with people who ask "big questions" and are prepared to work hard to find the answers. I also value people who get along well with others and have a good sense of humour. My primary interest is in mentoring students who are invested in the process of scientific inquiry.

I only supervise graduate students in our Clinical Psychology program in the Clinical Neuropsychology track.

We have completed admissions for the 2026-27 academic year. I take no more than one student per year. If you are interested in working with me, please send me an email that includes a statement of your research interests and your CV. Our admissions are by area (clinical neuropsychology), and I select students for my lab group based on their research interests and their fit with other students currently in my lab. I typically only consider students with evidence of research productivity (namely presentations at conferences and publications) who also have significant experiences with clinical populations (particularly those with impulse control disorders or substantial psychological distress).

I typically supervise one or two honours theses each year. With very few exceptions, these individuals have been a research volunteer in my lab for at least one year and have made a meaningful contribution to the work of my lab group prior to their honours thesis project.
I take a limited number of undergraduate students each year as research volunteers. Spaces available are determined by how many students I have at that time as well as the student's experiences and academic record. All volunteers are required to attend all weekly lab meetings (Thursdays 11:30 - 1:00) and to contribute to the work of my lab group. Research volunteers assist honours thesis students and graduate students with their projects, as well as scoring protocols and entering data. I accept students from both the Psychology Department and the Neuroscience Program.

If you are an international student (i.e., you are not a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States), I feel ethically bound to discourage you from applying. There are three reasons:

  1. Our tuition for international students is very high. There are almost no scholarships that cover this tuition. If you apply, are accepted, and come here, you will need to pay your own tuition. If you wish to investigate what this means in actual dollars, please use the University of Windsor tuition estimator.
  2. To graduate from our clinical psychology program, you must complete a highly competitive capstone internship in an CPA or APA accredited site. If you are not permitted to work in either country, you are unlikely to "match" to a site. In other words, you will NOT be be able to graduate. 
  3. There is no path to permanent residency or citizenship in Canada if you come as an international student, which means you will be bound by the above issues the entire time you are a student here.
