Clinical Supervision in Washington State

  • My approach to clinical supervision centers on collaboration, mutual respect, and curiosity. Therapy is a field of constant growth; we are lifelong students of evolving theories, techniques, and, most importantly, of our clients. During supervision, we will engage in mindful exploration, compassionate reflection, and innovative problem-solving to cultivate the best possible holistic care for your clients.

    My training is rooted in relational, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed therapy. I am deeply passionate about integrating attachment theory, contemplative and feminist psychotherapies, and an in-depth understanding of complex relational dynamics, including work with survivors of abuse. This integrative perspective provides rich, nuanced tools for both clinicians and clients. As my supervisee, I am committed to helping you develop your own clinical mind, authentic voice, and confidence as a therapist.
