Clinical Supervision
I provide clinical supervision to developing and fully licensed clinicians seeking advanced training in trauma-informed, attachment-based care. My supervision is structured, direct, and developmentally attuned, with a clear focus on building competent, ethical, and confident practitioners.
As an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) through the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), I offer both individual and group supervision for clinicians working toward licensure, as well as for those seeking to deepen their clinical work beyond basic competency.
Supervision is not passive or purely supportive. It is an active, collaborative process that challenges clinicians to think critically, refine their clinical judgment, and take full responsibility for the care they provide.

Approach to Supervision
My approach is grounded in a developmental model and informed by trauma, attachment, and relational frameworks. I adjust my level of support and challenge based on each clinician’s level of experience, while maintaining clear expectations for clinical responsibility and client safety.
Supervision with me is:
- Direct and honest
- Reflective and insight-oriented
- Clinically rigorous
- Grounded in real-world practice
I incorporate developmental supervision models, trauma-informed and somatic perspectives, and reflective practices such as recorded session review. Clinicians are expected to engage actively, tolerate feedback, and integrate new learning into their clinical work.
What You Will Develop
Supervision is designed to strengthen:
- Clinical assessment and diagnostic accuracy
- Treatment planning and intervention skills
- Application of theory to complex cases
- Ethical decision-making and professional judgment
- Documentation and compliance standards
- Awareness and management of countertransference
- Ability to work effectively across differences in culture, identity, and lived experience
- A clear and integrated professional identity
While supervision is not therapy, clinicians are expected to examine how their internal experiences impact their work with clients. This is addressed directly and appropriately within the supervisory relationship.
