Clinical Supervision

I offer clinical supervision for Professional Counselor Associates and Marriage and Family Therapist Associates in Oregon who want to grow not only in clinical skill, but in presence, confidence, and depth of attunement as they move toward licensure.

My approach to supervision is collaborative, relational, and experiential. This is a space where you can slow down, be honest about what feels difficult, and explore both your clinical work and your experience as a therapist.

Alongside case consultation, ethics, diagnosis, treatment planning, and professional development, we pay attention to how you show up in the room. This may include your nervous system, emotional responses, countertransference, and your ability to remain connected and grounded in moments that feel complex or activating.

I believe meaningful clinical work is not about getting it right all the time. It is about developing the capacity to reflect, recognize when something isn't working, repair when needed, and return to connection. This applies not only to our clients, but to us as therapists as well.

Approach

My supervision is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic and experiential mindfulness.

Together, we may explore:

  • Attachment patterns and relational cycles

  • Your internal experience and use of self

  • Somatic awareness and nervous system regulation

  • Reactivity, countertransference, and clinical blind spots

  • Ethical decision-making and professional boundaries

  • Working with complex relational dynamics

  • Developing confidence in your own clinical judgment and therapeutic voice

Supervision is both supportive and evaluative. My role is to help you develop as a clinician while also providing the clinical oversight required of a supervisor. That means creating room for curiosity, uncertainty, mistakes, and disagreement while also attending to client welfare, ethical practice, professional competence, and your progress toward independent practice.

Structure

The frequency and structure of supervision are based on your caseload, direct client contact hours, clinical setting, and Oregon Board requirements. We will establish a supervision plan together and adjust it as your practice changes.

Group supervision is intentionally kept small, with no more than five clinicians, to allow time for meaningful case discussion, reflection, and connection.

As your supervisor, I maintain required supervision records, provide ongoing feedback and evaluation, and remain attentive to your clinical work, professional development, ethics, and scope of competence. I also expect supervisees to bring questions and concerns openly, particularly when something feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or outside their current level of experience.

Investment

Supervision fees depend on the amount and type of supervision needed each month.

We can discuss your current caseload and supervision requirements during our initial consultation and determine a structure that works for both of us.

A Good Fit

This may be a good fit if you:

  • Feel drawn to relational and attachment-based work

  • Want to feel more grounded and steady in your sessions

  • Value reflection, depth, and experiential learning

  • Are curious about your own internal process and how it influences your clinical work

  • Want to develop greater confidence in your clinical judgment

  • Are looking for a supervisor with whom you can be honest about uncertainty, mistakes, and the places where you are still growing

Next Steps

If this resonates, you are welcome to reach out for a brief consultation. We can talk about your clinical work, where you are in the licensure process, what you are looking for in supervision, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
