Clinical Supervision for Therapists
I approach supervision as a relationship—not simply a place to review cases, learn interventions, or meet licensure requirements. Who you are as a human enters the therapy room, and I believe our work in supervision includes developing greater awareness of how your history, identities, nervous system, values, patterns, and ways of relating shape your clinical work.
My goal is not to help you become a particular kind of therapist. I want to support you in becoming more intentional about the therapist you are becoming: building clinical skill and confidence while developing the self-awareness and discernment to understand what you bring into relationship with your clients.
I am invested in...
Authentic relationship.
I believe meaningful supervision requires a relationship where we can be curious, direct, imperfect, and real with one another. I value warmth and connection alongside challenge and accountability.
Your growth as both a person and a therapist.
Clinical development and personal development are often intertwined. Supervision isn't therapy, but it can be a place to notice the places where your own experience enters the clinical relationship and explore what you want to do with that information.
Developing your own clinical voice.
I don't expect you to practice exactly as I do. I want to help you understand why you make the choices you make, expand the options available to you, and develop a way of working that is grounded in your values, clinical judgment, and authentic way of being in relationship.
I am committed to...
Embodiment.
Our bodies are part of supervision, just as they are part of therapy. We may slow down to notice what is happening in your body as you talk about a client, explore a difficult interaction, watch a session recording, or consider a clinical decision. Your embodied responses can offer important information when we learn how to listen to them without assuming they tell us the whole story.
Transparency.
I value being clear about what I am noticing, wondering, and asking of you. Supervision inherently carries evaluative and relational power, and I don't believe pretending that power isn't present makes the relationship more equitable.
Making the implicit more explicit.
What happens between us can offer information about your clinical work, my supervision, and the ways each of us engages in relationship. When something feels present in our dynamic, I want us to have the capacity to notice it, name it, and explore it in service of learning rather than avoiding it.
Exploring power.
Power, identity, privilege, difference, and systemic context are part of every therapeutic and supervisory relationship. I am interested in exploring how these dynamics shape the work—including the power I hold as a supervisor and the personal power you bring into the relationship.
Nuance and complexity.
Clinical work rarely fits neatly into binaries. I want supervision to be a place where we can hold multiple truths, tolerate uncertainty, question our assumptions, and resist rushing toward a simple answer when the work calls for complexity.
I may be a good fit if...
I particularly enjoy working with queer, gender-expansive and/or neurodivergent therapists, as well as clinicians who are interested in relational, somatic, trauma-informed, and identity-conscious approaches to therapy.
You may appreciate working with me if you want supervision that asks not only, “What should I do with this client?” but also:
What is happening in the room? What are you noticing in yourself? What might you be responding to? What belongs to you, what belongs to the client, and what is being created between you? How do identity, power, context, and your nervous system shape what is happening? And given all of that—how do you want to respond?
I am interested in helping you build the capacity to stay present with complexity, recognize when you are getting hooked or pulled toward a particular response, and have more choices about what you do next.
Ultimately, I want supervision to support you in becoming increasingly able to trust yourself—not because you always know the answer, but because you have developed the awareness, clinical grounding, and reflective capacity to meet what emerges with curiosity and intention.
