Clinical Supervision as Sanctuary: A Space for Reflection, Growth, and Integrity
Supervision is about more than just clinical oversight. At its best, it is a sanctuary. A quiet, held space where practitioners can be honest about the messy, beautiful, and often complex work of supporting others. It is a space for pausing, reflecting, and staying connected to the ethical roots of the work.
I offer clinical supervision for new and seasoned counsellors, as well as for psychedelic-assisted therapy practitioners and professionals working in trauma-rich environments. This work is a deep calling for me. It brings together decades of lived and professional experience in therapeutic practice, teaching, somatic work, and ceremony.
Supervision as a Relational, Living Practice
My approach to supervision is not hierarchical. It is relational, non-pathologizing, and trauma-informed. We explore your questions, your edges, and the places where your personal and professional selves meet. We look at the stories beneath the techniques. The countertransference that catches you off guard. The places where you feel stuck or alone. And the quiet wins that may not make it into clinical notes but matter just as much.
I believe supervision should be a space where you are not being evaluated, but witnessed. Where you can be vulnerable without fear, curious without needing a quick answer, and thoughtful about how your work touches your own nervous system, beliefs, and identity.
This is especially vital for those doing deep trauma work, complex attachment repair, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. These approaches stretch us. They require attunement, humility, and community. They call us back to our own regulation and connection so that we can offer the same to others.
Supervision is also where we strengthen our ethical roots. We reflect on how power, privilege, and lived experience show up in the therapy room. We explore our blind spots and biases. We bring care to rupture and repair. This is what keeps the work accountable and alive.
A Bit About My Experience
I have been in practice since 2012 and bring over twenty years of combined experience in counselling, somatics, group facilitation, and leadership. I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor (BCACC-ACS) and have supervised practicum students, new therapists, and experienced clinicians who want a seasoned guide and an ethical sounding board.
I have also worked extensively in nonprofit systems and understand the pressures of agency work, particularly in gender-based violence, housing support, and crisis response. My own path includes psychedelic-assisted therapy, both personally and professionally. I have taught graduate-level coursework on trauma and psychedelic ethics and supported clients and professionals in medicine work, ceremony, and integration.
My approach weaves together attachment theory, relational neuroscience, anti-oppressive practice, and a deep respect for land-based and ancestral ways of knowing. I also bring an embodied understanding of how personal identity, caregiving roles, and systemic realities impact our work. My own experiences as a mother, advocate, and person living with chronic illness and neurodivergence shape how I hold space for others.
What to Expect
Sessions are spacious and collaborative. We might look together at a stuck point with a client, explore transference and countertransference, unpack ethical dilemmas, or explore how your own life experiences shape your practice. Sometimes supervision looks like reviewing interventions. Other times it looks like naming the grief of this work and the beauty of holding space for change.
We can meet virtually or in person, depending on your needs and location. I also offer walk-and-talk supervision outdoors for those who prefer a grounded, movement-based setting. Being outside can support nervous system regulation and offer a different kind of perspective. For many, walking while reflecting opens up insight that is harder to access in a traditional setting.
This space is yours to bring what feels important. It is my job to hold that space with steadiness and skill. I welcome sessions that include dreaming, deep listening, questioning, and naming what may feel too complex to name elsewhere.
Community of Practice
In addition to individual and dyadic supervision, I offer group supervision through our community of practice at Pathkeepers.ca. These groups are built around the same values of care, integrity, and co-regulation. They offer a space to gather with other like-minded clinicians, to deepen your reflective practice, and to reduce the isolation that can so often come with this work.
Our groups often explore themes of ethical complexity, transference and countertransference, cultural humility, and the spiritual and emotional dimensions of care work. We make space for the collective wisdom in the room. If you're longing for professional community rooted in respect, curiosity, and shared values, Pathkeepers might be the right fit for you.

My Roots in Supervision
Some of my most important growth as a practitioner came not from trainings, but from supervision. Sitting with a thoughtful supervisor who held space for both my skills and my struggles allowed me to stay in this work without burning out. That kind of witnessing is part of what keeps our practices ethical, alive, and aligned.
I carry those experiences with me now as I supervise others. Clinical supervision is not just a requirement. It is a practice of care. It is part of how we support each other in doing work that is wise, effective, and human.
