Student Supervision

As a practicum supervisor for MACP students, supervision is focused on fostering both professional growth and personal development as emerging clinicians. Students are supported in building confidence, clinical competence, and ethical awareness in their therapeutic work. Supervision provides space for reflection, skill-building, and exploring challenges that arise in practice. Emphasis is placed on developing a strong therapeutic presence and client-centered approach. The goal is to equip students with the tools and insight needed to enter the field as thoughtful, competent, and compassionate practitioners.

My supervision approach is integrative and modality-eclectic, grounded in a nurturing, strengths-based stance that supports emerging therapists to build confidence, clinical clarity, and professional identity. Supervision is structured, collaborative, and developmentally tailored, using reflective practice, case conceptualization, skills rehearsal, and ethical decision-making to strengthen competencies expected of College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario registrants. Practicum opportunities are intentionally leveraged to translate theory into safe, effective client care, with ongoing feedback, goal-tracking, and support for risk management, documentation, and scope-of-practice readiness.
