Approved Clinical Supervisor
I am an approved supervisor in Washington State (License #LH60980971)
My Approach to Clinical Supervision
My approach balances structure, encouragement, and practical skill development.
The process of becoming a therapist often involves navigating uncertainty, building confidence, and learning through experience.
I provide a space that supports both professional growth and personal development within the work
In supervision, I aim to:
- Support your development as a clinician
- Help you think through cases and clinical decisions
- Build confidence in your voice and approach
- Offer practical tools and frameworks you can apply directly
You can expect a collaborative environment that includes curiosity, reflection, humor, and problem-solving.

My work is informed by an integrative approach, including:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
