My Approach to Clinical Supervision

My approach to clinical supervision involves practices similar to my therapeutic modalities – I operate from a humanistic perspective, honoring the pieces of you that make up your counselor identity, while also infusing Gestalt theory, person of the therapist concepts, and trauma informed principles. I utilize a developmental approach to supervision, meaning that I meet supervisees where they are at in terms of their growth, and co-construct supervision goals in line with their wants and needs as a future fully licensed counselor. The supervisory relationship is integral to our work together, as I see modeling and mentorship as a part of my role as supervisor. While I am attuned to the development of supervisees’ progress, I am also attuned to the relational work that will unfold during our working relationship.

Training and Clinical Supervision Experience

I earned my clinical supervision education and training through my doctoral program, where I completed applied graduate coursework and learned theory, ethics, methods of supervision, and culturally responsive approaches. I have supervised counselors in training across many phases of clinical training and I have experience supervising in group and individual settings.

In regard to my supervision experience and abilities, I am well trained and qualified in supervising supervisees in the following settings: university/college counseling centers, community agencies, private/group practices, and inpatient and outpatient medical treatment centers. In terms of clinical competency, I am qualified in supervising supervisees who are treating trauma, relational/attachment issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, family conflict, and identity development. I primarily have worked with adults clients, so I am qualified to supervise those treating adults in individual therapy, family therapy, and couples therapy.
