Supervision with me is collaborative, supportive, and exploratory. Difficult client cases can be presented, with case conceptualization and treatment planning to improve client psychotherapy as a main area of focus.
We further explore themes related to your personal learning goals, reflective practice, and use of self. In group supervision, I also encourage peer support and collaborative learning.
Professional Qualifications & Areas of Competence
I hold a Master’s in Counselling and Spirituality, an Honours BA in Psychology, and I am currently a Doctoral Student in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Yorkville University.
I have 13 years of clinical psychotherapy experience and 7 years of providing supervision within my areas of competence, including women’s mental health, anxiety, adolescent psychotherapy, perinatal and new-parent mental health, couples, and relationship concerns.
Supervision Training & Experience
I have many years of experience providing clinical supervision to psychotherapists and practicum students. I completed 30 hours of formal supervision training through the Object Relations Institute and meet the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) requirements for clinical supervision. I have also recently completed doctoral-level training in supervision.
I participate in ongoing supervision of supervision, professional development, clinical consultation, and supervision-focused learning to support continued competence.
Supervision Approach & Role
I enjoy the process of mentoring novice psychotherapists during the exciting early stages of their careers, as well as consulting with experienced psychotherapists seeking support in specific areas of focus or supervision of supervision.
I enjoy teaching and sharing up-to-date research on evidence-based practice to help inform high-quality psychotherapy care for clients.
My approach is an integrative, relational-developmental model that intentionally draws from multiple supervisory and psychotherapy perspectives. Clinical theories informing my work include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and person-centred approaches.
I begin supervision from a person-centred foundation of trust, authenticity, psychological safety, attunement, and openness, while using reflective practice to explore the supervisee’s clinical experiences and inner-world responses. A developmental and competency-informed lens guides the balance of support, challenge, direction, and autonomy.
When clinically indicated, I take an active role in teaching, case conceptualization, treatment planning, ethical decision-making, skill development, and constructive feedback. I view supervision as both a collaborative learning relationship and an accountable professional responsibility in which supervisee development and client well-being remain central.
