Supervision that meets you where you are and supports who you are becoming.
Most residents begin supervision with some combination of skill, uncertainty, confidence, and self-doubt.
You may know what to do in session but question your clinical judgment afterward. You may have strong clinical instincts but struggle to trust yourself. You may be carrying the pressure of wanting to do excellent work while still learning who you are as a therapist.
This is where clinical supervision can have the most impact: building on and extending your strengths while helping you grow beyond the edges of your comfort zone. We focus on confidence through clinical competence—a lifelong process of developing knowledge, refining skills, and strengthening clinical judgment.
My goal is to help you trust your decisions, develop your therapeutic voice, and become the therapist you want to be.
As an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide structured supervision that combines support, thoughtful challenge, observation, and feedback to help you grow into an effective and confident clinician.
I believe growth happens when therapists feel both supported and challenged.
Supported enough to be honest about what they don’t know.
Challenged enough to continue growing beyond what is comfortable.
Whether you are beginning residency or looking for a supervision experience that offers more than case consultation alone, supervision is a space where you can develop your clinical voice, strengthen your professional identity, and become a more confident and effective therapist.

My Supervisory Style
My approach is active, collaborative, and developmentally focused.
Residents who work well with me often appreciate:
• Honest, direct feedback
• Clear expectations and accountability
• Thoughtful challenge paired with support
• Practical guidance they can immediately apply in session
• Space for reflection, discussion, and professional growth
Clinicians who work with me develop the confidence, judgment, skills, and professional identity needed to practice ethically, effectively, and independently.
My Approach to Feedback
In my supervision, you’ll receive direct, constructive feedback designed to help you grow faster and practice with greater confidence. We’ll identify your strengths, address skill gaps, and focus on the clinical judgment needed for independent licensure.
You won’t be left guessing. You’ll leave supervision with a clearer understanding of what to improve, how to improve it, and what to focus on in your next sessions.
