Clinical Supervision

Are you looking for an Approved Qualified Supervisor who can help you navigate through your client-contact experience AND assist you with learning the business side of running your counseling practice?

As a supervisor, I can offer you supportive guidance over the many topics involved in fulfilling your hours, while also addressing the logistics of building a successful counseling practice. I started my own solo private practice in 2012 while I was completing my registered intern hours and have been in private practice ever since. I have had the experiences of renting office space as a solo provider, owning my own building and renting to other mental health professionals, and managing a completely virtual practice since 2020.

Through our supervision, you will be able to understand the dynamic between yourself and your clients better. We will also reflect on the dynamic between you (the supervisee) and me (the supervisor), as this can bring up interesting patterns that are parallel to your relationships with clients. Supervision will be a place for exploration of your personhood, systems, and structures that impact your work and professional identity. 

Who I am as a Clinical Supervisor

While it is not my goal to create therapist clones of myself, it can be important for you to choose a clinical supervisor who has similar interest areas or areas of expertise to your own. In my clinical practice with clients, I work from a systemic perspective focusing on adolescents and adults navigating relational trauma and issues from their families of origin. While I consider myself a systemic therapist first, I have also done trainings in DBT, IFS, and Intuitive Eating modalities and draw on them as well. After spending the last decade working closely with a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, I also have a strong foundation in psychopharmacology and the ways that family therapists can navigate the medical model while providing collaborative systemic care. I believe that collaboration with other professionals is vital to systemic work. I have also leaned into evaluations for ADHD and autism as we gain more awareness of the role of neurodivergence in relationships. Additionally, I have training in conducting Social Investigations (formerly called Custody Evaluations in Florida), working in the role of court-ordered Guardian ad Litem, and have been qualified as an expert witness.

Like my therapy style, my supervision style is strengths-based, supportive, goal-oriented, and trauma-informed. As a systemic therapist, that means addressing diversity, gender, power, and other sociocultural dimensions is an inherent part of the work. I might be a good fit for you if balancing the requirements of supervision with a healthy dose of humor, self-disclosure, and quick wit feels comfortably at home. 

My ultimate goal is to help you become a therapist that I can consider a peer and a colleague who I am able to refer to with complete confidence.
