Supervision is a collaborative and enlivening process. I'm drawn to mentoring because I believe in the power of relational presence, embodied awareness, and thoughtful guidance in shaping who we are as therapists. It’s a privilege to support clinicians as they deepen their clinical intuition, expand their skill set, and stay connected to their values. Exploring rupture/repair, counter-transference, and enactments is a particular area of growth I value.
Background
Taking new Supervisee's in the late fall of 2025.
Your supervision experience with me
Together, we’ll explore your developing personhood as a therapist - what shapes your presence, what grounds you, how your values and principles show up in your work, what modalities bring you passion, and what relationship means. I bring creativity and play into supervision, encouraging experiments and moments of discovery, while also supporting precision. My style is relational, curious, and attuned. You’re invited to bring your whole self - questions, instincts, uncertainties, and we’ll grow from there, with some room for fun along the way.
Areas of expertise

Therapeutic approaches
These are the therapeutic approaches I integrate into my supervision practice.

Somatic Approach
Somatic therapy centers the body as a core source of information, healing, and clinical insight. My work draws from body-based modalities that attend to nervous system regulation, procedural memory, and implicit patterns of survival response. In supervision, we explore your own embodiment and somatic countertransference, track activation and settling in real time, and support your somatic skills in the role as a therapist. You’ll be encouraged in how to use the body, yours and the client’s, as an instrument of change.

Person-centered Approach
Supervision in this space is rooted in authenticity, presence, and relational mutuality. We cultivate an environment of mutual respect, where your experiences, instincts, and reflections are welcomed with warmth and care. Together, we support your growth as a therapist by deepening your self-awareness, refining your clinical presence, and staying connected to your values and voice. Relational mutuality invites a shared sense of presence - one where growth unfolds not through authority, but through genuine connection. In this space, your clinical wisdom is honored and your capacity for congruence and empathy is strengthened.
