Therapy and Supervision for Helping Professionals
As a therapist and helping professional with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting fellow therapists and counsellors in their personal and professional growth. My practice focuses on creating a safe, collaborative space where therapists can explore their own challenges, unresolved trauma, or professional stressors that may impact their work with clients. I employ evidence-based modalities such as Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Lifespan Integration to foster self-awareness, ethical self-disclosure, and resilience. My approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone of transformational change, ensuring supervisees and clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. With advanced training in trauma resolution and experiential therapies, I offer individual and group supervision, workshops, and writing that bridge personal healing with professional excellence.My commitment to ongoing self-supervision and ethical practice ensures I model the vulnerability and growth I encourage in others. I serve helping professionals globally through in-person and virtual sessions, prioritizing cultural sensitivity and adaptability. My work aims to reduce burnout, enhance therapeutic presence, and cultivate authenticity in practitioners, ultimately improving client outcomes. I hold advanced degrees from the University of British Columbia and Queens University, alongside certifications from leading institutions in systemic therapy and trauma recovery. By integrating academic rigor with compassionate mentorship, I strive to elevate the standards of care within the mental health profession.
