Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self transformation.

My Thoughts on Therapy

Therapy should be a collaborative meaning-making process that happens between those in the room

The therapeutic process should evolve naturally and can be as short as a single session or multiple sessions that occur over a short or longer period of time
No commitment is required in terms of number of sessions or length between sessions
Therapy can happen with individuals, couples/partners, or with multiple members of a family; who attends from one session to the next can vary
Individuals are welcome to bring a friend, partner or family member for support if helpful

Clinical Supervision Services

I offer clinical supervision to fellow clinicians who are committed to ongoing professional development, accountability and best practice. I view clinical supervision as an opportunity for practicing mental health clinicians to consult with a more experienced – or differently experienced – clinician around client and clinical situations that are a part of their practice. I encourage supervisees to dive deeply into exploring both the challenges and strengths within their work, while maintaining (1) a systemic lens; (2) high ethical standards; and (3) consideration for particular methodologies, theories and approaches a supervisee is most interested in developing.

As your supervisor, I am most interested in learning what your goals for supervision are, and what you most need from me in order to feel adequately supported in attaining those goals. Similar to therapeutic work with clients, I consider clinical supervision a collaborative, supervisee-focused process, and believe finding a good supervisor-supervisee fit is of utmost importance. When a good fit it discovered, I am not simply finding opportunities to “teach”, rather we both find opportunities to deeply connect and create new learnings, new meanings, and shift perspectives together.

For those working toward supervision hours with CRPO and CAMFT, I am recognized as a supervisor by the CRPO according to their definition, and am a Supervisor Qualifying with CAMFT, which means I am able to sign off on supervision hours for both of these colleges/associations.

My home-based practice provides a very unique placement opportunity for students who are interested in experiencing the benefits and drawbacks of a home-based practice. I encourage students who may be interested in building their own home-based practice to apply to work with me, should my interests and style offer a good fit for you. Students have their own private office within my home, and are encouraged to explore a hybrid model of in-person and virtual practice if this appeals to them. I work closely with students to ensure they are getting the minimum clinical hours required by their program, even if it means getting creative. Students who work with me receive supervision with me free of charge, and are required meet CRPOs outlined ratio of 1:4.5 supervision hours to direct client contact hours.

Students working within my home-based practice get some added bonuses that they may not find at other placement/practicum locations – reliable parking; a clean, quiet kitchen and eating area with a selection of coffees and teas; the most loving cat and dog around (beware for those with allergies); places inside and outside to decompress; access to a private workout space with cardio and weightlifting equipment.

Working with students allows me the opportunity to offer low-cost therapy to my home community and cost-free training to students, while offsetting some of the costs associated with my time. It is a privilege for me to be in a position where I can mentor future therapists and help ensure well-trained, competent clinicians are available to the public. If you are interested in working with me or doing a placement within my home-based practice, I encourage you to connect with me via email – Contact
