Reflective Clinical Supervision for Therapists & Social Workers in Ontario (and across Canada)
You care deeply about your clients—but lately, you’re feeling stretched thin. You might be holding trauma stories that stay with you long after the session ends, second-guessing your decisions, or wondering if you’re doing “enough.” Maybe you’re navigating a client suicide or carrying complex feelings about your work with high-risk or high-conflict cases.
You want to show up ethically, reflectively, and sustainably—but you’re burning out. You’re looking for a space that’s more than just case consultation. You want supervision that’s supportive, grounding, and actually helps you grow.
That’s where I come in.
Since 2013, I’ve supported RSWs and psychotherapists through the messy, meaningful work of clinical practice. My supervision blends developmental models, reflective practice, and trauma stewardship, helping you build confidence, manage emotional labor, and stay connected to your “why.”

1
Individual/Dyadic Supervision
Individual supervision, rooted in developmental and reflective practice models, offers a personalized space for professional growth. The developmental approach tailors supervision to the clinician’s stage, supporting skill-building in early careers and fostering autonomy in advanced practice. The reflective practice model emphasizes self-awareness, encouraging clinicians to examine their emotional responses, biases, and decision-making in relation to clients. This introspection promotes ethical practice, resilience, and deeper understanding of one’s therapeutic approach. Together, these models support continuous learning, helping clinicians refine their skills, navigate complex cases, and enhance both their clinical expertise and personal development.

Reflective Practice Group Supervision
My supervision groups provides a collaborative and supportive environment where professionals can share experiences, gain insights, and develop their clinical skills. Grounded in developmental and reflective practice models, these groups encourage participants to reflect on their work, explore challenges, and learn from one another. Through facilitated discussions, case presentations, and shared reflections, group members can enhance their self-awareness, navigate complex cases, and refine their therapeutic approaches. The group dynamic fosters a sense of community, providing opportunities for feedback, emotional support, and the development of resilience, ultimately promoting both professional growth and personal well-being.

External Supervision for Group Practices & Agencies
My external supervision for group practices and agencies offers tailored support to enhance the clinical effectiveness and well-being of teams. Grounded in developmental and reflective practice models, I work closely with leaders and staff to foster professional growth, ethical practice, and resilience. Through regular sessions, I facilitate group discussions, case reviews, and reflective exercises that encourage self-awareness, collaborative problem-solving, and skill refinement. My approach supports teams in managing complex cases, navigating organizational challenges, and ensuring a consistent, high-quality standard of care. This external supervision helps cultivate a supportive work environment, promoting both individual and collective development within the agency.
