Vancouver | Assistant Professor, Counselling Psychology
As a counsellor educator, my philosophy towards teaching is informed by Transformative and Sentipensante pedagogical theories. I trust students to invest in their education and my role is to present materials and hold space for critical inquiry and reflection in the classroom. I believe that when students make contact with teaching material in holistic ways, a meaningful learning experience emerges.
My goal is to foster a learning environment that encourages students to experience their own becoming, both personally and professionally. I hope to support students in examining their ways of being in the world and how that intersects with counselling theory and practice.
At Adler, I appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication our students have to social justice and healing in our communities. I feel honored to work alongside students who are committed to being agents of change.
Adler University in Vancouver has been, like Canada itself, born and built with an open mind. Located in the midst of one of the world’s most exciting and breathtaking cities, Adler University reflects a true Canadian spirit. It’s smart, inclusive and determined to make a world of difference. By design, our Vancouver campus echoes the Adler values and intent down every hall and in every room. It is built to live, breathe and inspire those with the passion to pursue a more just society. This is where the work gets done.
At Adler Vancouver, you’ll find multiple collaborative areas with the absolute latest technology. Learning areas and windows have literally been situated to stimulate thought. To some, that may sound odd, but these things do matter. If students are given the space, opportunity and technology to achieve their goals, they are more likely to rock the boat of conventional thought.
