Hi! I'm Cindy!
I am pleased to offer clinical supervision to Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying and Independent Practice) and Master’s-level placement students practising in Ontario. My supervision philosophy is rooted in providing space to help you grow in confidence as a clinician through collaboration, connection, and building clinical excellence.
My style of supervision could be a good fit if you are looking for an enriching, secure, and empowering space that honours your unique therapeutic style while fostering the rigorous clinical skills required for safe and effective practice. As a clinical supervisor, my role is to mentor, guide, and support you as you navigate the complexities of our field, building both your clinical acumen and your professional confidence.
In our supervision sessions, we will work collaboratively to:
-
Navigate CRPO Standards & Ethics: Focus on ethical alignment with CRPO guidelines, including comprehensive documentation, informed consent, boundary management, and the integration of the Safe and Effective Use of Self (SEUS).
-
Prepare for CRPO Milestones: Navigate regulatory requirements with confidence, including preparation for the CRPO Registration Exam, the Case-Based Assessment, and ongoing Quality Assurance (QA) portfolio requirements.
-
Conduct In-Depth Case Consultations: Analyse clinical cases, conceptualise treatment plans, and exchange constructive, evidence-informed feedback.
-
Refine Clinical Skills & Therapeutic Voice: Identify your professional strengths, establish measurable growth goals, and cultivate your authentic therapeutic presence.
-
Address Practice Management: Discuss the practical, ethical, and operational aspects of building and sustaining a successful practice.
-
Foster Peer Connection: Engage in collaborative learning to build a strong professional network and reduce the isolation often felt in private practice.
Clinical supervision is far more than a regulatory requirement; it is a vital cornerstone of professional development, ethical accountability, and clinical longevity. Whether you are launching your career or looking to deepen your established practice, my commitment is to support your ongoing growth and success.
Flexible virtual supervision formats including individual, dyadic, and group sessions, are designed to seamlessly accommodate your unique professional needs and schedule.

About Cindy: Your Clinical Supervisor
My Path to Clinical Practice & Leadership...
Helping therapists build their skills, find their footing, and feel confident in their practice is what makes this work so rewarding. This clinical path began with a transition to a second career, going back to school to complete a Master of Arts in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy at Wilfrid Laurier University. Prior to this transition, a 25-year career focused on spiritual care, pastoral counselling, and community leadership provided a rich, real-world foundation in human connection, with a deep focus on supporting children, adolescents, and families through life's ups and downs.
Now with nine years of dedicated clinical counselling experience, support is provided to individuals, couples, and families within a thriving private practice. As a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO and a certified member of the OSRP, supporting fellow clinicians in finding their unique therapeutic voice is a true passion. To bring specialized depth to both supervision and clinical work, credentials include certification as a Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) alongside extensive training through the Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTCH) and the National Institute of Trauma and Loss in Children.
Beyond the therapy room, a love for mentorship and leadership development has translated into facilitating hundreds of workshops—helping professionals navigate the very real challenges of setting healthy boundaries, building strong team dynamics, preventing burnout, and protecting their own well-being.
