Background
I received my doctorate from the University of Oxford in 1997 under the mentorship of Professor Christopher Fairburn and completed my post-doctoral training at the Toronto General Hospital Eating Disorders Program in Toronto, Ontario. I practised as a registered psychologist in Toronto from 1999-2012 where I was a Staff Psychologist in the Eating Disorders Program of the Toronto General Hospital and an Associate Professor in Psychiatry at the University of Toronto as well as an Adjunct Professor in Psychology at York University.
Research Interests
To date, my research has focused on understanding the nature and maintenance of eating disorder psychopathology, evaluating psychological treatments for eating disorders, and identifying predictors and mediators of treatment outcome. My research thus far has concentrated mainly on anorexia nervosa. Recently, I have begun to focus on examining biopsychological factors in binge eating disorder and obesity.
Current research projects
Firstly, I am collaborating with Dr. Marion Olmsted at the University of Toronto Eating Disorders Program to study possible mediators of treatment outcome in anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of weight gain, extreme dietary restriction, and the maintenance of an unhealthily low body weight even in the face of severe physical and psychological impairment.
Secondly, I am collaborating with Dr. Caroline Davis (York University) to conduct further research on an addiction model of binge eating disorder and obesity. Binge eating disorder (BED) is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating in the absence of extreme methods of weight control. Most individuals with BED are overweight or obese. For the past several years, we have been studying psychobiological factors related to sensitivity to reward in BED and obesity.
Thirdly, I am collaborating with Dr. Guang Sun, a CIHR-funded Professor in the Department of Medicine at Memorial University, to study psychobiological factors associated with weight regain in obesity.
Finally, I am initiating a new line of research on body image dissatisfaction and disordered eating in older women.
