I am an approved supervisor for candidates seeking licensing with the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick (CCTNB). My approach to supervision is heavily influenced by my training in the interpersonal psychoanalytic tradition. As a result, much of our work together focuses on countertransference, your experience of the therapeutic relationship, and the relational dynamics between you and your client. We use these insights to explore and understand any challenges or confusion you may encounter, and work together to refine and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
In addition to my psychoanalytic training, I bring over 15 years of experience in social and critical theory, as well as sexuality studies, through my education at the University of Toronto and ongoing involvement in academia as a teacher and researcher.
What can you expect?
We will schedule our meetings to meet CCTNB’s requirements, which means at least 50% of our supervision sessions will be held in person. My aim as your supervisor is not to train you in a specific therapeutic modality, but to honour and support your unique theoretical approach to working with clients. At the same time, we’ll focus on integrating feedback from the therapeutic relationship. I believe that by examining relational patterns and dynamics, you can enhance the work you’re doing with your clients. We’ll also cover essential topics, including effective treatment notes, ethical responsibilities, termination, cultural diversity, and other supervision areas as outlined by CCTNB.
