How I work as a clinical supervisor

At the heart of my supervision philosophy is a deep commitment to nurturing your skills and confidence as a therapist.

Supervisees often describe me as warm, compassionate, and deeply supportive. My approach emphasizes kindness and understanding, creating a non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your professional challenges, experiences, and aspirations.

I view supervision as a collaborative journey, where we work together to:

  • Uncover and strengthen your professional identity

  • Cultivate self-compassion and confidence

  • Foster positive growth in your therapeutic practice, including specialties like emotional regulation, couples therapy and sex therapy.

With trust and genuine connection as guiding principles, I strive to provide a solid foundation for your personal and professional development, empowering you to grow into the therapist you aspire to be.

Supervision Built on Partnership and Growth.

I believe supervision is a partnership. Together, we’ll explore insights, build essential skills, and help you feel confident and prepared in your role as a therapist.

My background

I’ve spent 20 years serving individuals and couples.

  • Therapeutic Modalities:

    • “Top-Down” Approach: Brain → Body

      • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Through CBT, I help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This structured approach encourages you to challenge negative beliefs and make intentional choices that support your mental health.

      • Solution-Focused Therapy: By using evidence-based, solution-focused techniques, I provide measurable, strength-based strategies tailored to your unique goals. This data-driven scientific approach is ideal if you’re looking for a results-oriented path to progress.

      “Bottom-Up” Approach: Body → Brain

      • Biofeedback: Integrating biofeedback empowers you to monitor your physiological responses, promoting self-regulation and reducing stress. Biofeedback is especially effective if you’re looking to better understand and control your physical reactions to emotional stressors.

      • Somatic Therapy: Using a somatic approach, we’ll focus on healing through body awareness and movement, addressing trauma and emotional pain held in the body. This technique is designed to help you reconnect with your body, process trauma, and promote holistic healing.
