I believe that clinical supervision is an important ingredient in offering excellence in clinical care. Regular supervision, in my view, allows the opportunity for clinicians to reflect, examine and receive feedback on questions such as, ethics, practice standards, professional boundaries, transference and countertransference, treatment formulations, interventions and strategies.
I offer individual supervision in compliance with the requirements for supervision by the CRPO and several professional associations that includes a 30-hour training course.
My approach to clinical supervision is relational, collaborative and integrative.
My expertise includes integrating psychospiritual, psychodynamic and experiential modalities and interventions such as sound therapy, meditation and clinical counselling hypnotherapy.
I offer individual one-to-one clinical supervision.
About Me
I am a psychotherapist with over 16 years of experience in private practice. Since 2015, I have been registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO #003119).
I hold a Masters of Pastoral Studies, recently renamed a Masters of Psychospiritual Studies, and a certificate in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy with a focus in Buddhist approaches to mental health from Emmanuel College of Victoria University, in the University of Toronto. I was honoured to graduate with two scholarships, the Charles Plaskett Scholarship for Pastoral Theology and the Emmanuel College General Proficiency Scholarship.
Prior to this I had earned diplomas in Spiritual Psychotherapy; Spiritual Direction; and in Holistic Health, Energetic Studies from Transformational Arts College.
My education, training and expertise includes integrating psychospiritual, psychodynamic and experiential modalities and interventions such as sound therapy, mindfulness, meditation and clinical counselling hypnotherapy into clinical practice.
In addition to my initial 30-hour training to become a Clinical Relational Supervisor and ongoing professional development in supervision, my experience includes a continuous commitment to supervision throughout my career and one-to-one mentoring and supervision of mental health professionals.
As an avid life-long learner, I engage in continuing professional development in supervision, ethics, practice standards and in enhancing interventions and modalities of treatment.
Clinical Supervision with Me:
If you are interested in my approach and clinical supervision with me, I invite you to a complimentary first meeting. This is an opportunity to see if we have a fit for working together and should we wish to continue, to develop our supervision contract or agreement. This meeting and any subsequent meetings may be held in person, in Stratford, or online. You can get started by clicking "Book Now" for a Complimentary Consultation.
Supervision for Independent Practice
I have always found it valuable and important to safe and ethical practice to engage in supervision about issues arising in clinical practice. Supervision for clinicians who are in Independent Practice offer the opportunity to dedicate time and focus to reflect and to receive support for client work or practice issues.
As an Independent Practitioner seeking professional clinical supervision, we will develop a contract, revisited at least annually, and you will decide on the frequency of supervision. As you are self-reporting, it is your choice to write separate reports or report on each client. You will receive support with implementing new tools or exploring a new approach, clinical or practice issues.
Supervision is one-hour and available in-person or online, by appointment only.
Sessions offer the opportunity to dedicate time and focus to:
- Reflect on client and practice work,
- Enhance understanding in implementing modalities and approaches,
- Recognize or clarify formulations for your client’s issue(s),
- Identify possible projection and transference,
- Explore possible blocks and triggers or countertransference,
- Develop treatment strategies, interventions and possible tools,
- Examine possible biases,
- Establish appropriate professional boundaries,
- Review practice standard guidelines,
- Discuss possible ethical considerations.
Individual Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision begins with developing an agreement. The details in this agreement or contract is formulated based on discussions of individual needs and training requirements. It is revisited regularly and outlines:
- Therapeutic approach or model of supervision used,
- Goals or purpose of clinical supervision,
- Responsibilities of clinical supervisor and supervisee.
- Supervision format (individual); modalities of treatment to be supervised, special areas of attention,
- Method of reviewing supervisee’s clinical work,
- Meeting arrangements (physical location or online platform, frequency, duration, or number of supervision hours requested, cancellations, emergencies, fees, if and when applicable,
- Expectations regarding the sharing of client information and informing clients about clinical supervision,
- Provisions regarding the confidentiality of information shared between clinical supervisor and supervisee,
- Fees for clinical supervision services,
- Processes for providing evaluation and feedback, emergency or off-schedule contact between supervisor and supervisee, resolving conflicts, renewing or terminating the agreement.
Clinical supervision is offered for one-hour, in-person or online and by appointment only. Sessions similarly offer the opportunity to dedicate time and focus to:
- Reflect on client and practice work
- Enhance understanding in implementing modalities and approaches
- Recognize or clarify formulations for your client’s issue(s)
- Identify possible projection and transference
- Explore possible blocks and triggers or countertransference
- Develop treatment strategies, interventions and possible tools
- Examine possible biases
- Establish appropriate professional boundaries
- Review practice standard guidelines
- Discuss possible ethical considerations.
