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

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.

Next steps:

Choosing a supervisor is an important decision, and I believe it should be a mutual one. If you feel drawn to my approach, I invite you to complete the application below. Please be prepared to upload your resume and three references. I'll personally review your responses and, if it seems we may be a good fit, I'll reach out to schedule an initial consultation. This conversation is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss your clinical interests and goals, answer any questions, and determine whether we'd like to move forward together in a supervision relationship.

The process is simple:

  1. Complete the supervision application below.

  2. I'll review your application and contact you to schedule an initial consultation if it appears we may be a good fit. (Please allow 2 weeks for review. Every application will receive a response. )

  3. We'll meet for a consultation to explore your goals, answer questions, and determine whether we'd like to move forward together.

  4. If we both decide to proceed, we'll complete the supervision agreement and schedule your first supervision meeting.

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.
