Supervision Style: Warm and Rooted in the Developmental Model

Whether you're navigating imposter syndrome, clinical uncertainty, or complex case dynamics, I tailor our work to your evolving needs as a clinician. I use a developmental model of supervision, which means I meet you where you are.

My approach is warm, and integrative. Our work together will draw from multiple theories—psychodynamic, somatic, narrative, and CBT to support you in refining your voice as a therapist while staying grounded in ethical and trauma-informed care
