AAMFT Approved Supervisor Candidate

Clinical Supervision

Supervisees who vibe with my expertise are usually those who want guidance working with relationships (couples & adult families), developmental trauma (complex PTSD), neurodiversity, and/or men. I do work with other populations, of course, however these are where my specializations live. And, as much as I know a variety of lenses to work from, my main mastery has been focused on EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), SE (Somatic Experiencing), and Humanistic, Poly-Vagal, and Systems Theories.

Navigating “Your Way” of Therapy

Learning how to become an effective and ethical therapist is not all about copying the theories, clinicians, and supervisors that inspire you. A huge element of being a great clinician actually comes from finding out who you are and becoming confident in your way of doing therapy. I’m excited to help you become the therapist you’re striving to be, and to do so, we’ll build a safe and trusted environment for you to navigate the newness and authenticity of this all.

Business Mentorship

An aspect of our graduate education and training that is usually missing is the business side of things. Before becoming a therapist, my first career was managing highly successful hotels and small businesses. I transferred those skills to building a thriving private practice, and I want to support you in your passion to become your own boss, if that is something that interests you.
