Continiung Faculty (Vancouver)
I am delighted to join City U as a Fulltime Faculty Member and as the Clinic Coordinator in the Master of Counselling Program (Vancouver, Canada).
I have worked as a registered clinical counsellor (RCC) and approved clinical supervisor (ACS) in non-profit and in private practice settings. I have experience working with families, couples, individual adults, teens and children. My approach to clinical work is trauma-informed, attachment-informed, relational, process-based, and experiential. My study and application of anti-oppressive approaches to therapy is alive and ongoing.
In my Clinic Coordinator role, I am pleased to provide administrative support to our student interns who receive placements with our Neighbourhood House partners across the lower mainland.
Teaching
I delight in providing an elastic, respectful, and experiential learning environment. Developing the self-as-therapist is a particular area of interest for me as an educator.
Research
My Master’s thesis looked at counselling clients who practice ethical non-monogamy. I am currently working as a research assistant on a project investigating successful retirement.
