Clinical Supervision

Providing supervision is a very important part of my practice.  After having had the good fortune to have received some exceptional supervision early in my career I developed an interest in learning more about providing quality supervision.   In 1995, I began supervising those new to the field and by the time I returned to do my Masters of Social Work it was clear that clinical supervision would be a priority in my learning.  With this in mind several colleagues and I developed a self-directed study on supervision.  This involved reviewing the current literature, interviewing supervisees and developing a university course on supervision.  I was thankful to have had the opportunity to delve more deeply into this important work.

Experience

While at Pacific Spirit Family and Community Services (providing service to the UBC community) I was supervisor to numerous Masters level students in social work, counselling psychology, art therapy and educational psychology from a variety of Universities and Colleges.  I currently provide clinical supervision for Oak Counselling Services as well as to private practitioners in the lower mainland.  I am also on the Practicum Coordinating Committee at Vancouver General Hospital, coordinating practicums and providing guidance and educational seminars to supervisors.
