Professional Supervision

Depth-informed clinical supervision for therapists, social workers, and psychologists ready to think collaboratively about their work, and to stay connected to themselves within it. 

Clinical work asks a great deal of therapists. Alongside the privilege of helping people through moments of uncertainty, emotional upheaval, ethical complexity, and the quiet pressure of carrying difficult stories, we also have to keep developing our own clinical judgment.

Supervision can be a place to think out loud, get curious, wrestle with the complicated parts of the work, and feel supported in the process.

Whether you are early in your career or have years of experience, supervision is designed to support both your clinical development and your capacity to remain connected to yourself within the work. 

Sometimes it's obvious what you need. Sometimes it isn't.

Supervision focuses more on your work: clinical judgment, countertransference, professional development, and the questions that come up in the room with clients.

Therapy is a place to focus on you: your relationships, patterns, emotions, history, identity, and whatever else you've been carrying around.

If you're trying to decide which would be more helpful right now, we can talk about it.  Learn more about Therapy for Therapists or reach out and we can sort it out together. 

There are parts of clinical work that can feel difficult to talk about openly. Cases that stay with you after session. Moments when you aren't sure what you're doing. Emotional reactions you didn't expect. A client you find yourself thinking about between sessions. A situation that leaves you questioning yourself, even when you're deeply compassionate toward your client.

Supervision should be a place where you can bring those things without having to make yourself sound more certain, more detached, or more competent than you actually feel.

My goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, reflect honestly, and think deeply about your work without worrying about having the “right” answer.

I've been practicing since 2005, and for 15 of those years I also taught clinical psychology and trained therapists. I genuinely enjoy thinking about clinical work with other clinicians, whether we're puzzling through a complicated case, talking about a relational dynamic, or trying to understand why something about a client is getting under your skin. 

Supervision is about building confidence and clinical clarity when you're working with cases, populations, or treatment dynamics that feel complex, unfamiliar, or emotionally demanding.

It's also about staying interested in the work. A meaningful career in therapy asks us to keep growing, not just as clinicians, but as people.

Yes.  We can either meet in-person in Newport Beach, or online from anywhere.  Supervision is not limited to California in the way that therapy is.

Yes. Dream work is one of my particular areas of interest and expertise. I work with therapists who want to become more confident exploring dreams with clients, whether you're just beginning to work with dreams or want to deepen an approach you're already using.

My approach is rooted in depth psychotherapy, drawing from both psychodynamic and Jungian traditions.  You don't need to be psychodynamic, Jungian, or even particularly interested in theory to get supervision. You just need some curiosity about what's happening in the therapy room.
