Clinical Supervision

Supporting your growth:

The best supervision happens how the best therapy happens — in good-fit relationships. I know, from personal experience, how important it is to have collaboration and personalization alongside structure as you’re finding your footing and growing as a clinician. Supervision should not feel like a experience you have to endure in order to get to full licensure, but a space for you to grow and get encouraging guidance.

I am a DOH-approved Licensed Mental Health Counseling Supervisor that provides clinical supervision for associate clinicians in Washington state. I strive to help you feel comfortable asking questions, feel grounded in your work and business, and build confidence in understanding clinical information so you can apply it with appropriate flexibility in client sessions. We’re doing a lot more work here than just punching the clock for hours.

What Supervision with me is like:

I am passionate about high quality clinical work that is ethical and follows legal guidelines…but I’m equally passionate about clinical work not feeling stuffy and painfully structured. It is my goal in supervision to empower you with the clinical knowledge you need to formulate a clinical approach that feels like you, while also prioritizing what you need to do to take care of yourself in a taxing field so you can be in this work for the long-haul.

  • Case consultations, diagnostic criteria and conceptualization, assessments, and knowing when it is time to refer out due to clinical expertise.

  • Legal and ethical considerations that you need to keep an eye on.

  • Navigating crucial relationship dynamics specific to the therapist-client dynamic, including transference and countertransference and what to do about it.

  • Learning about modalities I regularly use and how to implement them in a way that feels authentic to your work. Some of these include:

    • Neuroscience-Informed CBT

    • Narrative Exposure Therapy

    • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    • I-CBT

    • Attachment theory

    • Somatic work

    • Psychodynamic work.

    • Among many others I may not even realize…I am absolutely an eclectic therapist that believes it is my job to take all my clinical knowledge and apply what makes the most sense for each individual client.

  • Navigating and incorporating crucial pieces of context for each client into therapeutic work — this might include things like considering individual neuroscience for specific disorders, hormonal changes in women throughout the lifespan and within pregnancy/postpartum, FOO cultural impacts, among many others.

Specific Support Areas:

I cover a lot of ground in supervision. We’ll be working through:

  • The essential elements of clinical supervision — I mean, this is literally the basis of the job so we’re definitely going to make sure we do this.

  • Increasing your clinical knowledge of different therapeutic modalities/interventions. If I know it or have a resource on it, I will pass it along. I don’t believe in gatekeeping or letting you struggle to figure it out on your own.

  • Logistics help: fine-tuning paperwork and documentation, marketing your practice, how to talk about your work so that clients want to work with you. I don’t do business consulting, but I’m happy to share what has helped me to build a successful private practice.

  • Acknowledging the larger (broken) systems at play so you can accurately keep your clients (and yourself) in appropriate context for growth.

  • Special attention to your experience so that we can make sure you are balancing your work and life demands in a sustainable way.

  • Room for appropriate human responses — you might need to laugh, cry or cuss in anger about any number of things in this work. This isn’t therapy, but I welcome this unavoidable piece of this work into supervision.
