Clinical Supervision for Psychotherapists in Ontario

Relational, trauma-informed supervision for therapists who want to deepen their trauma competency, stay connected to themselves in the work, and keep growing as clinicians.


When You’re Ready to Grow Your Skills and Feel More Confident in Your Work

Whether you're a newer therapist working towards independent practice or an experienced therapist wanting to deepen your trauma framework, good supervision should do more than tick a box. It should help you feel genuinely grounded in your work — clearer in your case conceptualization, more attuned to what's happening in the room, and better supported in carrying the weight of what you hear.

I offer individual clinical supervision with a particular focus on complex trauma, self-of-therapist exploration, and the relational dynamics that show up when we sit with people in pain.

You Might Be Looking for Supervision That Helps You:

  • Work more confidently with complex trauma and attachment injuries

  • Understand how early relational patterns — yours and your clients' — shape what happens in the therapy room

  • Explore self-of-therapist themes with a supervisor who takes that work seriously

  • Deepen your trauma-informed and nervous-system-aware framework

  • Strengthen case conceptualization and treatment planning for complex presentations

  • Navigate emotionally activating client material without losing your footing

  • Develop as a clinician in a way that feels ethical, relational, and sustainable

Effective therapy starts with grounded, well-supported clinicians.

Clinical Supervision to Help You Strengthen Your Skills With Care and Integrity

My supervision is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and deeply relational. I draw on a multisystemic approach to case conceptualization — holding the full context of a client's life, including trauma history, relationships, intergenerational patterns, social location, and nervous system responses.

A significant focus is self-of-therapist work. Who you are as a person is inseparable from who you are as a clinician, and exploring your own attachment history, emotional responses, and areas of activation isn't a side conversation — it's central to this work. I aim to create a space that is collaborative and genuinely safe enough for you to bring what you're actually struggling with.

Reflecting on social location and privilege is also an ongoing part of how I work with supervisees — not a one-time exercise, but a continuous thread in how we understand ourselves and our clients.

My clinical background includes Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Ego State Therapy, EMDR, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, and I hold an EMDR Certified Therapist credential with EMDRIA.

Please note: I do not offer DBR consultation or EMDR consultation as part of supervision — this is not a substitute for modality-specific training or consultation in those approaches. What I offer is trauma-informed clinical supervision with an informed understanding of how these frameworks shape clinical thinking.

My Trauma-Informed Approach

My supervision integrates several core elements to help therapists deepen their understanding of trauma, attachment, and nervous-system responses:

  • Understand how early experiences and relational patterns show up in the therapy room.

  • Understand how EMDR and DBR-informed thinking shapes trauma conceptualization.

  • Explore how dysregulation appears in clients (and in us as therapists) and how to work with it safely and effectively.

  • Build clarity around treatment direction, therapeutic pacing, and skillful intervention.

  • Reflect on emotional load, countertransference, boundary clarity, and sustainable practice.
