Enhance your practice and elevate your clinical skills

Christina’s style can be described as relational, mentoring, strengths-based and pragmatic. Sessions can flow readily between directive and non-directive, based on the learning needs of the supervisee.  

Christina is a Certified IPT therapist, trained in EMDR Therapy, special populations like ADHD, as well as fundamentals like CBT and EFT, and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Christina will help guide your understanding of appropriate assessment and pacing to know how to tailor treatment and adapt your preferred modality to each client and their circumstances. Christina is neurodivergent herself, and aims to always offer an anti-oppressive, egalitarian and neurodivergent-affirming supervisor-supervisee relationship.

Christina particularly focuses on creating an open and trusting relationship with supervisee’s, believing that consultation – and parallel process – work best when trust is strong. Sessions can move fluidly between process and technique, theory, and practical clinical guidance.

• Individual supervision sessions follow the flow of a check in, and case-based presentations, following the outline of the attached case formulation sheet. 
• Group supervision (maximum 6 participants) is balanced, structured, case-based and also allows for open discussion around issues therapists in private practice commonly grapple with. 
• Business and private practice consulting, personalized and tailored to the needs of the therapist and their unique business goals. 

Christina emphasizes careful and thorough initial assessment, ensuring we are treating the correct problem, the therapist is within scope, and if not, identifying the care partners that might help the client most appropriately. When working with more recent grads, Christina enjoys helping therapists understand their strengths and to support development in the areas they are passionate about. 

Christina also teaches therapists how to navigate the health care system in Ontario, the importance of understanding the role of psychopharmacotherapy in mental health and the advocacy required to get the care our clients need.  For more on Christina’s detailed bio, and post graduate training, you can click here.
