Continuing Faculty (Virtual Program)
I am an Associate Faculty who has taught numerous Counselling Psychology courses within the Department of Health and Social Science at CityU Canada since 2021. Particularly, I teach both foundation and capstone courses. Within this capacity I’ve had the privilege of supporting and observing the professional growth and development of emerging clinicians from the start of the program to the end.
Research
My primary area of professional interest includes Counselor Education, Development, and Supervision. Past research includes the development of Counsellor Self-Efficacy in the capacity of facilitating Distance Counselling. My current research aims to explore the self-care practices of BIPOC Clinicians who address Race-based stress within their Clinical Practice.
Teaching
As an Educator, I believe that active learning is a humbling lifelong journey and one that begins with curiosity. In my classrooms, I encourage students to be open to exploration/learning by asking critical questions; and to engage in a reflective and reflexive practice that allows them to be attentive and curious to the cultural, political, social, and ideological worldviews that influence their understanding of self and others. Consequently, I invite the consideration and
collaboration of diverse perspectives into the educational space as I believe it leads to a more enriching learning experience.
