Clinical Supervision
Supporting your Clinical Growth
Supervision is a powerful and important part of becoming the therapist you hope to be. Finding the right supervisor to support, teach, and help you grow is crucial.
Providing a relaxed and safe environment is my priority. I want to get to know you and build a trusting and supportive relationship. It is not helpful to feel shamed or judged, especially as we are learning and growing. I truly love supporting new therapists as they build confidence and begin to own their authentic presence and style. I want to help you meet your professional goals in a kind, affirming, and collaborative process. If you're wondering if I might be a good fit for you, let's talk!
