Starting therapy can feel like a daunting step, but you don’t have to take it alone. I am here to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and valued. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy, which means I see you as the expert in your own life. I believe in creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and collaboration, where you can explore your experiences at your own pace and in a way that feels authentic to you. Together, we will work toward meaningful growth, healing, and empowerment, helping you navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
I recognize that each individual, couple, and family brings a unique story and set of needs to therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your lived experiences, and help you uncover the strengths and solutions that already exist within you. Whether you are working through relationship struggles, personal growth, major life transitions, or family dynamics, I am committed to supporting you in a way that respects your autonomy and personal journey.

“A strong therapeutic relationship isn’t just part of the work—it is the work. Change happens in the space where trust and support exist.”

Supervision
Supervision for Therapists and Students
Supervision is more than just oversight—it is a collaborative, supportive, and growth-oriented relationship that fosters both professional and personal development. Drawing from an integrative supervision approach with a strong person-centered foundation, I create a space where therapists and students feel respected, encouraged, and empowered in their clinical journey. My role as a supervisor is to provide guidance that aligns with each supervisee’s unique developmental stage, level of experience, and professional goals.
I believe that effective supervision is a partnership, built on trust, open dialogue, and a shared commitment to learning. Whether working individually or in a group setting, I tailor my approach to meet the evolving needs of my supervisees—providing support, constructive challenges, and opportunities for deeper self-reflection. I encourage supervisees to identify at least two key areas of focus for their clinical skill development and personal growth, ensuring our work together remains intentional and meaningful.
What We Cover in Supervision Sessions:
Case Presentation – Supervisees present client cases, discussing client background, presenting issues, interventions used, and progress made. Reflective Practice – Explore personal thoughts, feelings, and reactions during sessions and how they impact therapeutic interactions. Skill Development – Refine core counselling skills such as active listening, empathy, questioning techniques, and goal-setting. Feedback and Evaluation – Receive constructive feedback on counselling techniques, interventions, and therapeutic strategies. Ethical Considerations – Navigate ethical dilemmas and ensure alignment with professional ethical guidelines. Theory Application – Apply counselling theories and frameworks to client cases, deepening understanding and approach. Goal Setting – Set and track personal and professional development goals to enhance clinical skills and effectiveness. Self-Care and Well-being – Explore strategies for self-care and resilience to prevent burnout and maintain well-being. Professional Development – Identify opportunities for continuing education, training, and growth in the field. Documentation and Record-Keeping – Review best practices for note-taking, file management, and confidentiality protocols. Cultural Competence – Discuss diversity, cultural sensitivity, and how to adapt counselling approaches to meet clients’ diverse needs. Supervisory Relationship – Reflect on supervision dynamics, communication styles, trust-building, and professional boundaries. Case Conceptualization – Collaborate on comprehensive case conceptualizations that integrate client history, presenting issues, and theoretical perspectives. Role-Playing – Engage in role-plays to practice counselling techniques and client scenarios in a safe learning environment. Personal Development – Examine personal values, beliefs, biases, and cultural influences that may impact counselling practice, fostering greater self-awareness and cultural humility.

My Commitment as a Supervisor:
