Supervisors

Oriana creates a supportive space for supervisees to build competency, expand clinical skills, and foster self-awareness, all while reducing feelings of overwhelm and isolation. Her clinical supervision provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where supervisees can explore concerns, develop skills, and collaborate openly.

Guided by a person-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach, Oriana works from a psychodynamic lens, emphasizing collaboration, respect, and anti-oppressive frameworks. She strives to create a transparent, supportive supervisory relationship that nurtures growth and reduces barriers to development. Core to her values is a commitment to ongoing learning, and she is dedicated to providing supervision that is both empathetic and evidence based.

Oriana’s extensive theoretical background includes training in Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. She integrates these modalities into supervision, tailoring her approach to meet the unique needs of each supervisee.

Oriana holds a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto. She is a Registered Psychotherapist in good standing with the CRPO. She meets the criteria to be a clinical supervisor as outlined by the CRPO and is an Approved Practicum Supervisor with Yorkville University.

“Helping people with their mental health is a passion of mine, and helping new and existing therapists develop their skills means that people in need have access to better quality care with mindful and experienced professionals. Supervision with me is an opportunity to grow through tailored guidance and to collaborate together to provide the best possible care for the community. Supervisees are encouraged to express their ideas, questions, and concerns in the safe and positive environment that I ensure to create".
