You’ve come a long way. I would be honored to accompany you through what comes next.
The way we hold our clients is deeply influenced by the ways we have been held ourselves. I believe supervision offers therapists the same relational conditions we hope to cultivate in therapy—safety, authenticity, curiosity, challenge, and repair—so that the care we receive naturally becomes the care we offer. It is deeply meaningful to me to offer the kind of relational space that has so profoundly shaped my own becoming as a therapist.
Because every supervisor brings a unique philosophy and style—and because choosing a supervisor is a mutual decision—I invite you to explore my approach below to better determine whether we may be a good fit for one another.
10 Principles guiding the heart of my supervisory approach:
01 Life is trustworthy.
Healing, growth, and integration naturally emerge when the conditions are supportive. The role of supervision is not to shape someone into a particular kind of therapist, but to cultivate the relational conditions in which authenticity, wisdom, and therapeutic presence can emerge.
02 Relationship is the foundation of growth.
The supervision relationship is not simply a place to discuss therapy—it is itself an opportunity to experience the kind of relationship therapists hope to offer their clients: one characterized by authenticity, curiosity, accountability, compassion, repair, and trust. The means and the end are the same.
03 Rupture is an inevitable part of being human in relationship.
Rather than something to avoid, rupture offers opportunities for learning, repair, and growth. When both people remain open to being impacted by one another and approach moments of difference with authenticity and curiosity, trust deepens through the experience of learning together. A relationship rooted in mutual learning becomes a secure relationship.
04 Curiosity and not knowing create the conditions for transformation.
Growth is fostered not through certainty, but through the willingness to remain curious, tolerate ambiguity, and discover together what is unfolding. When we are not pressuring ourselves as therapists to “do it right” or “make something happen”, transformation and discovery often unfold naturally.
05 Every therapist has an authentic essence and voice worth discovering.
Supervision is an opportunity to discover, trust, and deepen your own authentic way of being as a therapist. Rather than shaping therapists into the image of someone else, the goal is to cultivate greater confidence, presence, and integrity from which clients' authenticity and self-trust can naturally emerge.
06 Who the therapist is matters as much as what the therapist knows.
Clinical knowledge and skill are essential, but the therapist's greatest instrument is their own presence. As self-awareness, embodiment, humility, and relational capacity deepen, interventions arise from authenticity rather than performance. Presence creates the space to pause before what might otherwise become a reenactment of trauma, allowing for greater freedom, choice, and the possibility of a corrective relational experience.
07 The process is organic.
Supervision provides a space to accompany rather than direct the unfolding process, trusting that growth emerges naturally through the integration of challenge, support, reflection, and experience. In these conditions supportive of growth, learning becomes embodied, confidence develops naturally, and authentic practice can flourish.
08 Protective strategies deserve compassion, not judgment.
Many relational strategies that once protected attachment—such as pleasing, performing, striving for certainty, or managing how one is perceived—can later limit authentic therapeutic work. Supervision offers a space to recognize these adaptations with curiosity and compassion, gradually broadening our capacity to stay connected to ourselves and respond from authenticity rather than protection.
09 Therapists were never meant to do this work alone.
The emotional, ethical, and relational complexity of psychotherapy deserves a place where it can be explored honestly, collaboratively, and without shame. Supervision is intended to be a space where therapists feel both deeply supported and thoughtfully challenged as they continue growing into the clinicians they are becoming.
10 Relationship is the intervention.
Clinical theories, techniques, interventions, and skills all have tremendous value, but they are most transformative when held within an authentic human relationship. Lasting change emerges most powerfully through genuine presence, connection, and attunement.
“Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul.”
— C. G. Jung

Specific:
-
For many of the same reasons I became a therapist. Some of the most meaningful growth in my own life happened within relationships with mentors who challenged me, believed in me, and created the conditions for me to discover more of who I already was. Those relationships profoundly shaped not only the therapist I became, but the person I continue becoming.
Becoming a supervisor feels like a natural extension of that experience. It is a privilege to support therapists as they develop confidence in their clinical thinking, discover their own therapeutic voice, and reconnect with the qualities that make them uniquely effective.
-
Human beings who love learning and growing. I seek Associates who are curious, self-reflective, and committed to ongoing learning and growth. I value clinicians who are motivated to deepen not only their clinical knowledge and skills, but also their capacity to be authentic, present, and relational in their work. I appreciate supervisees who can practice with increasing autonomy while remaining open to collaboration, feedback, and continued development.
My supervision is best suited for Associates practicing in private practice or other outpatient settings where I can provide primary clinical supervision. While I have several years of experience working in community mental health and value the important role it plays in our field, I believe clinicians working in higher levels of care are often best served by on-site supervision, where immediate support, consultation, and interdisciplinary collaboration are more readily available.
My relational style is warm, direct, and honest. I strive to create a supervision relationship that is both supportive and appropriately challenging, meeting you at your growing edge while honoring your unique pace and process. If you are simply looking to fulfill a licensure requirement, we may not be the best fit. If you are seeking a deeply engaged, relational supervision experience that will support and challenge your development as both a therapist and a human being, I would love to explore whether we are a good fit.

Experiential, depth-oriented, heart-centered, somatic, relational, and attachment-based.
My approach to supervision is grounded in the belief that therapists develop most fully within relationships that are authentic, attuned, and willing to hold both support and challenge. While I draw from a variety of clinical theories and evidence-based practices, my primary commitment is to helping Associates develop sound clinical thinking, deepen therapeutic presence, and cultivate an authentic way of practicing.
Theories and frameworks that most influence my supervision include:
NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM): Understanding developmental trauma, attachment, identity, and therapeutic process.
Attachment Theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology: Exploring how relationships shape development, regulation, and healing.
Psychodynamic and Relational Psychotherapy: Working with unconscious processes, transference, countertransference, and the therapeutic relationship.
Polyvagal Theory and Contemporary Neuroscience: Supporting nervous system regulation and embodied clinical work.
Experiential, Somatic, and Mindfulness-Based Approaches: Cultivating awareness, integration, and presence.
Developmental Models of Therapist Growth: Recognizing that clinicians evolve over time and benefit from supervision that is responsive to their stage of development.
Rather than teaching a single model or encouraging Associates to practice as I do, I aim to help each clinician develop the discernment to think critically, integrate theory thoughtfully, and discover a therapeutic style that is authentically their own.
My supervision is best suited for Associates who primarily work with adults healing from complex and developmental trauma, along with the relational, emotional, and nervous system adaptations that emerge from chronic disconnection.
While I have training and experience in play therapy, family therapy, and couples therapy, these are not my primary areas of supervision. Likewise, although I appreciate and integrate concepts from a variety of therapeutic approaches, I do not offer specialized supervision in modality-specific treatments such as EMDR. If you are seeking advanced supervision in a specialized modality outside the frameworks described above, I would be happy to refer you to trusted colleagues with expertise in that area.
-
Growth happens when we can bring our whole selves into the room.
I believe our identities, cultures, family histories, communities, and lived experiences inevitably shape how we understand ourselves, our clients, and the therapeutic relationship. Meaningful supervision includes ongoing curiosity about these influences, as well as the ways power, privilege, oppression, and systemic factors impact both our clients' lives and our own.
I strive to create a supervision relationship where Associates of all identities feel respected, welcomed, and able to bring their full humanity into the room. I don't believe cultural humility is something we achieve once and for all, but an ongoing practice of listening, self-reflection, openness, and repair. Together, we'll remain curious about our assumptions, celebrate differences, and use moments of discomfort or uncertainty as opportunities for learning and growth.

Collaborative review of your caseload to strengthen case conceptualization, treatment planning, and ethical decision-making.
Presenting cases for in-depth conceptualization and discussion through relational, attachment-based, and trauma-informed lenses.
Sharing and exploring clinical topics that spark your curiosity and contribute to our collective learning.
Reviewing audio and/or video recordings of therapy sessions to develop greater self-awareness, therapeutic presence, and clinical discernment.
Experiential learning through role plays, demonstrations, and live coaching to help translate theory into practice.
Ongoing exploration of transference, countertransference, use of self, and the therapeutic relationship.
Reflection on your own development as a therapist, including identifying strengths, expanding growing edges, and cultivating your authentic therapeutic voice.
Regular attention to ethical practice, documentation, professional identity, and standards of care.
Thoughtful conversations about building a sustainable and values-aligned career, including private practice development when applicable.
Biannual evaluation and goal-setting to celebrate growth, identify future learning goals, and ensure our supervision relationship continues to meet your needs.
About me:
I have always been moved by the healing power of safe, authentic relationships and knew I wanted to become a therapist at the age of seven. While I love to nerd out about neurobiology, developmental trauma, theory, and consciousness, I've come to believe that no amount of knowledge can replace the healing that unfolds when two people meet with authenticity, curiosity, and presence.
I believe meaningful supervision is not only about learning concepts or refining clinical skills—it is about cultivating the capacity to be fully present with ourselves, our clients, and one another. I love learning alongside others and bring my own humanness, curiosity, and inevitable mistakes into the supervision relationship so we can practice being human together.
Outside of my work, I feel most alive in nature and in communities that welcome authenticity, growth, and the courage to risk new levels of self-expression. I am a wife, a mother of two elementary-aged children, a regular yogi at my local studio, and a wanderer of the forest. I love reading and writing prose and poetry, swimming in natural waters, and sharing deep belly laughs with the people I love.
More than anything, I hope the people I work with leave supervision not simply with greater knowledge, but with a deeper trust in themselves, in the therapeutic relationship, and in the innate wisdom that emerges when we have the courage to show up authentically together.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
