As a therapist, I utilize integrated multicultural and feminist approaches in my work with clients. I recognize the importance of addressing social identities, and how experiences associated with these identities impact psychological wellbeing. In addition, I also believe in creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship and empowering the client to identify areas in their lives where they have more power and control.

I see supervision as an opportunity to learn and also to teach. I consider it a great privilege to be able to be part of another person’s clinical process, and work to create a caring, non-judgmental and collaborative environment in supervision. I enjoy when I am able to bring parts of my non-clinical self into the supervision space, as I believe that authenticity births growth and progression.
