Supervision

Who I Work With

I offer supervision to postdoctoral fellows completing their licensure hours and to licensed clinicians seeking consultation and growth in specific areas of practice. In either case, I'm most energized working with clinicians who are curious about who they are as a therapist, not just what they do.

I might be a good fit if…

  • You're a postdoctoral fellow working toward licensure and want a supervisor who will meet you where you are

  • You're a licensed clinician looking for consultation in LGBTQ+ affirming care, existential approaches, or using yourself as a therapeutic tool

  • You want supervision that feels collaborative — not a space where you're evaluated from above

  • You're interested in developing your own clinical perspective, not just learning someone else's framework

  • You want to work with a supervisor who takes your growth as a whole person seriously, not just your case notes

My Approach

I approach supervision from a developmental perspective — which means I don't have a one-size-fits-all model. Where you are in your training shapes how we work together. Early in the process, you might need more structure and direction. Over time, the goal is to need me less, to trust your own instincts, develop your own clinical voice, and feel genuinely confident in the room with clients.

One of the tools I use most in supervision is Socratic questioning. Rather than telling you what I think you should have done with a client, I'd rather ask you questions that help you figure it out yourself. That process — of sitting with the question, working through your reasoning, arriving at your own answer — is where real clinical confidence comes from.

Much like therapy, supervision works best when it's genuinely collaborative. My job isn't to hand you a map, it's to walk beside you as you develop into the clinician you want to become. You bring the self-knowledge; I bring the perspective. Together, we put both to work.

I also care about you as a person, not just as a clinician in training. The emotional demands of this work are real, and good supervision has to hold space for that too.

My Background

I've been supervising clinicians for over ten years — working with both practicum students and postdoctoral fellows across community mental health and training settings, including serving as a training director. That breadth of experience means I've supported clinicians at many different stages, with many different strengths and growing edges.

In my private practice, I've narrowed my supervision focus to postdoctoral fellows and licensed clinicians who are drawn to the areas I'm most passionate about — LGBTQ+ affirming care, existential and relational approaches, and the particular art of using yourself as a therapeutic instrument. If that sounds like you, I'd love to connect.

Therapy for Therapists

I also see therapists as therapy clients and this is work I find deeply meaningful. The particular experience of being a helper, of holding space for others while managing your own inner life, deserves its own dedicated attention. Therapists often make the best clients precisely because they understand the process — and the hardest clients to find good therapy for, because the power dynamics of finding someone who truly gets your world can be complicated.
