Clinical Supervision
I provide clinical supervision and consultation to RP(Qualifying) registrants, social workers, and other early-career therapists building psychotherapy skills. Supervision is offered virtually across Ontario; consultation is open to clinicians anywhere.
I supervise therapists who want to get comfortable with the hard stuff. Before private practice, I spent more than a decade in community mental health — sexual assault centres, a clinic serving survivors of gender-based violence, managing a counselling team of twelve. High-risk was part of the everyday work: suicidality, disclosures, safety planning. I’ve learned not to panic at the hard stuff, and I’ll help you get there too.
Together we’ll work on the foundations of trauma-informed care, the neurobiology of trauma, trauma processing through somatic and parts-based approaches, and the high-risk skills that early-career clinicians most often carry alone.
My style is knowledgeable but playful. Supervision should be the hour in your week where you exhale, not the one you rehearse for.
Individual and dyadic formats. Dyadic supervision pairs you with a colleague in a reflecting-team structure; hours count fully toward CRPO requirements

Supervision rates
My rates are built around an equity principle: 50 minutes of supervision costs what one clinical hour earns you. Supervision should be accessible at every stage and setting of practice, and supervision should support your growth:
- If you see your own clients, your rate is the fee you charge for a 50-minute individual session.
- For those working entirely in group practice, rates are adjusted to reflect your net share.
- If your full practice is in community mental health, I offer sliding-scale rates. Those roles are often clinically demanding, vastly underpaid, and short on access to skillful supervision. Accessibility matters most exactly there.
Students and pre-licensed clinicians pay my standard hourly rate ($170). The earliest stage of practice asks for the most of a supervisor, and this rate reflects that level of care and attention.
I run on an honour system: as your practice matures and your fee rises, your supervision rate rises with it. Where you start is just where we start.
Dyadic supervision: $180 per 60-minute session ($90 per clinician), with longer or shorter sessions pro-rated at the same rate.

Common questions
What’s the difference between supervision and consultation?
Supervision is the formal, regulated relationship: we meet on a regular schedule, I hold defined responsibility for supporting your clinical work and development, and the hours can count toward your college’s supervision requirements. Consultation is collegial support for practising clinicians — ongoing or case-by-case — where responsibility for the work stays with you.
The short version: if you need hours, you need supervision. If you want another brain on your hardest cases, consultation may be the fit — and it’s open to clinicians outside Ontario as well.
How often do we meet?
It depends where you are. Clinicians early in their practice usually meet weekly or every other week — often enough that the hard cases don’t have to wait. More experienced clinicians often land on monthly, and consultation can be a standing time or entirely as-needed. We’ll find a rhythm that fits your caseload, your college’s expectations, and your budget.
Who can you supervise?
In Ontario, psychotherapy is practised by members of several regulated colleges — psychotherapists, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists, and physicians — and I provide supervision and consultation to clinicians across all of them who are building their psychotherapy practice.
If you’re an RP(Qualifying), the question underneath is usually: will my hours count with a social worker? They will. CRPO accepts clinical supervision from members of the other psychotherapy-practising colleges, including my college (OCSWSSW), when the supervisor meets its criteria — five or more years of clinical experience, the equivalent of 1,000 direct client hours and 150 hours of supervision received, 30 hours of supervision-specific training, and CRPO’s supervision module. I meet all of these — well in excess of the required 30 hours of formal supervision training — and am pursuing a certificate in Clinical Supervision from Wilfrid Laurier University.
