I approach supervision as a developmental and collaborative process. I don’t expect newer clinicians to already know what years of clinical experience teaches you. My role is to help you develop that knowledge by asking questions, challenging your thinking when needed, offering direct feedback, and helping you connect what you learned in graduate school to what actually happens in the therapy room.
I want supervisees to understand not only what they are doing, but why they are doing it. We look at what you are seeing in the client, what may be driving the presentation, how you are conceptualizing the case, and whether your interventions match what the client actually needs.
Supervision also requires honest reflection. I will tell you what you’re doing well, and I will help you identify where you need to grow. The goal isn’t for you to become a clinician who practices exactly like I do. It’s to help you develop the judgment, confidence, and self-awareness to become the clinician you want to be.
Supervision is an active process. What we focus on will depend on what is happening in your clinical work, where you feel stuck, and what you need as you continue developing as a clinician.
We may conceptualize a complex case, review documentation, troubleshoot an intervention, prepare for a difficult conversation, or work through an ethical concern.
Come prepared with cases, questions, documentation, difficult moments, or situations where you aren't sure what to do next.
Supervision changes as you develop—from more instruction, modeling, and direct feedback to greater ownership of your clinical decisions.

Finding the right supervisor matters. Before beginning, we’ll talk briefly about where you are in your training or licensure process, the type of clinical work you’re doing, what you’re looking for from supervision, and whether my experience and supervision style are a good fit for your needs.
