inquire about supervision

Supervision that mirrors the work itself.

My approach to supervision is the same as my approach to therapy: curious, direct, and rooted in the belief that the most effective clinicians are those who know themselves well. This isn't supervision that just ticks boxes for licensure. It's supervision designed to shape the kind of clinician you actually want to be.

We'll work on your cases, yes, but also on your clinical identity, your edges, and the parts of you that inevitably show up in the room with your clients. Because they always do.

I bring 15+ years of clinical experience, IFS Level 2 training, and a deep commitment to culturally conscious practice to every supervisory relationship.

what to expect

IFS Informed Supervision

We'll use IFS concepts to understand your clients — and to understand the parts of you that activate, shut down, or over-function in the clinical relationship.

Culturally Conscious

Practice is not culturally neutral. Supervision here takes seriously the ways race, identity, and power dynamics live inside the therapy room.

Licensure Support

Supervision toward LCPC licensure in Maryland, with documentation and hour tracking to keep you on track toward your goals.
