In selecting a LPC/LMFT Clinical Supervisor, I believe goodness of fit is one of the most important pieces to a successful collaboration. As a strengths based, collaborative, and Outcomes-Informed therapist, so to is my approach to working with supervisees. And I believe that the the supervisee-supervisor relationship, is the most important factor in facilitating clinical growth and development.
When I reflect on why I am so passionate about therapy (and clinical supervision!), I always come back to my unwavering love of people and our human condition. It’s so interesting when you consider how paradoxically unique we are, yet so very similar in so many ways. And strong, collaborative alliance creates space to discuss and evaluate a variety of therapeutic techniques, skills, and interventions.
I endeavor to support those I clinically supervise, whose success is my success, and whose growth and development requires compassion, clinical knowledge and experience, as well as support.

What can you expect from me?
Support, support, support. Evaluation, support.
I provide weekly clinical supervision in either individual or group setting. I provide feedback on counseling techniques, interventions, diversity, ethics, communication techniques, private practice building, and gender and sexual diversity. I review documentation and case notes as needed, provide formal and informal evaluations to help foster and develop your own self-evaluation. With a focus on your strengths, I offer support for the development of your professional identity and theoretical orientation. And I am also available for consultation in crisis situations.
My approach is a passionate advocacy of YOU; of your beliefs and values as a therapist. As a clinical supervisor, I’d say my approach is fairly gentle, yet direct, inquisitive, solution-focused and collaborative. In other words- “it’s just you and me, kid.” We’re a team.
