Supervision that takes you further than your training program did and asks you to show up fully to get there.

I'll be honest with you about something: I don't think most graduate programs are preparing clinicians well enough.

They teach you theory. They teach you assessment. They give you the language of the field and send you into placements that don’t often offer clinical work per se but you do your best with what you have. Very few programs teach you what it actually feels like to sit with a struggling adolescent girl, to hold the weight of a parent's fear, or to stay regulated yourself when a session goes somewhere you didn't expect.

That gap between what school teaches and what clinical work actually requires is something I have felt personally and have watched play out in supervisees. It's one of the reasons I am so deeply committed to supervision. Not as a checkbox on the way to licensure, but as the most important professional development experience a clinician can have.

My approach to supervision:

Good supervision is not about having all the answers. It is not about impressing your supervisor or presenting your cases in the most polished way possible. The best learning I have ever witnessed, in myself and in the clinicians I have supervised, happens in moments of genuine vulnerability.

When you say “I don't know what I'm doing with this client.”When you admit “I got triggered in that session and I don't know why.” When you bring the case you're most afraid to talk about rather than the one you feel most confident about, that is where the real work is done.

And that is the kind of supervisory relationship I am committed to building…one where you feel safe enough to not have it together, because that is exactly when the most meaningful growth happens.

I will challenge you. I will push you to examine not just what you did in a session but why. What beliefs, what fears, what blind spots shaped your choices in the room? I will also celebrate your growth fiercely, because watching a clinician find their footing and their voice is one of the greatest privileges of this work.

I am genuinely passionate about the next generation of therapists. The adolescent girls who will walk into your offices in five, ten, twenty years need clinicians who are well-trained, self-aware, and deeply grounded. Supervision is where that gets built.

Who I supervise:

• LSW and LAC professionals working toward clinical licensure

• Early-career clinicians who want more than their training program gave them

• Experienced clinicians transitioning into adolescent or specialty anxiety work

A personal note:

If you are choosing a supervisor, I want you to choose someone who will genuinely invest in you, not just sign off on your hours. I will know your cases, build on your growth, and hold a vision of the clinician you are becoming even when you can't see it yourself.

I also want you to come in ready to be uncomfortable. Not because supervision should feel unsafe, it should feel like the safest professional space you have, but because comfort and growth rarely live in the same place. The willingness to be vulnerable with your supervisor is not a weakness. It is the single most important thing you can bring to the work.

If that resonates with you, I would love to talk.
