Because therapists need support too.
Clinical work is deeply meaningful, but it can also be isolating. Whether you are a new therapist building confidence, an experienced clinician navigating complex cases, or a supervisor seeking consultation, supervision offers a space to reflect, grow, and feel supported in your work.
I provide clinical supervision for therapists, counsellors, and helping professionals in Abbotsford and across British Columbia. My approach is collaborative, relational, and grounded in the belief that meaningful professional growth happens when we feel safe enough to explore both our strengths and our challenges.
A Reflective and Supportive Approach
Supervision is more than case consultation. It is an opportunity to deepen your clinical skills, strengthen your professional identity, and develop greater confidence in your work with clients.
Together, we may explore:
My goal is to create a supervision relationship where you feel genuinely supported, challenged when needed, and encouraged to continue growing as a clinician.
My Supervision Philosophy
I view supervision as a collaborative process rather than an evaluative one. I strive to create a space where curiosity, authenticity, and reflection are welcomed. Just as therapy creates opportunities for clients to grow, supervision creates opportunities for therapists to deepen their understanding of themselves and their work.
My supervision approach is informed by attachment-based, trauma-informed, and person-centred perspectives. I believe that when therapists feel supported and connected, they are better able to offer meaningful care to the clients they serve.
Who I Work With
I offer clinical supervision for:

Why me choose me?
What to Expect in Supervision?
Curiosity is vital for good therapeutic work. Supervision creates space to discuss therapeutic questions and gain clarity about future clinical direction. Gentleness and compassion are the guideposts in our work together. I approach supervision through a Trauma Informed approach. I’m committed to compassionate curiosity in our work together – asking good questions and developing a creative collaboration process.
Working as a therapist can be an isolating experience. Through supervision you will receive support and encouragement in your clinical work. You are not alone. Isolation can be one of the most difficult parts of this profession. Good supervision can give you an outlet to process difficult session and encourage you in your work with clients.
Who we are as people impacts our clinical work. We can only help our clients as much as we are able to do our own work. One of my focuses of supervision is about how our own personal themes show up and get in the way of our work with clients. I love helping you recognize and resolve these themes so that you can be more effective in your sessions.
“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” – Fred Rogers
