Graduate Students

I will be reviewing applications from prospective students seeking graduate studies in the Department of Psychology at Western University for Fall 2026 entry. I will consider students applying to either the Clinical Science and Psychopathology cluster or the Cognitive, Developmental, and Brain Sciences cluster.

Prospective students are strongly encouraged to review my website and recent publications to assess potential fit. For more information on the application process at Western, please visit the Department of Psychology website. 

To ensure an equitable process for all applicants, I am unable to accommodate individual meetings outside of the formal interview process. Please note that reaching out before applying will not influence your chances of being considered for an interview or admission. I will review your application regardless of whether you have contacted me beforehand.
