What Good Supervision is, to Me

Are you looking for supervision that goes beyond the alphabet soup of techniques and acronyms that dominate clinical training these days?

Do you want something deeper, more authentic—maybe even a little “old school”?

If so, my approach might be the right fit.

In my experience, good supervision can be as transformative as good therapy. My two best supervisors changed my life. I’m a better therapist—and a better person—for having worked with them.

That’s because the best supervision isn’t just about ethics, techniques, or theory. It’s about becoming the kind of therapist you would want to see.

And that requires depth—not just into the case, but into yourself: your blindspots, habits, and fears. Why you hold back. Why you push too hard. Why you’re too nice, too distant, too sharp, too accommodating, too—whatever.

It also means identifying what I call your therapist “superpowers”—the innate gifts every dedicated clinician brings to the work. The more you cultivate those strengths, the better you can harness them in service of your clients.

If we work together, we’ll take an integrative-functional approach that blends psychodynamic, experiential, and strategic methods, with a clear focus on the intersection of self-as-person and self-as-therapist. The goal is to develop an approach to therapy that’s grounded in theory and shaped by real human connection—where clinical skill meets interpersonal artistry.

All so you can do work that’s not just competent—but life-changing, thought-provoking, authentic, and fun. And so your clients can go beneath the surface, into the emotional and experiential core of their struggles, and get at the roots of what’s bothering them.

My Theory and Method of Supervision

Supervision should be collaborative and active. I’ll challenge you when you’re playing it safe, and support you when you’re stretching your edge.

My approach draws from several key frameworks:

The Discrimination Model (e.g., Bernard & Goodyear, 2019) informs how I think about the roles and functions of both supervisor and supervisee:

• In this model, the supervisor takes on three roles—teacher, consultant, and therapist—to support development across three skill-domains: intervention, case conceptualization, and personalization.

I view relational dynamics in therapy and supervision through the lenses of Multicultural and Feminist theories:

• The intersection of your identities and your clients’

• The power dynamics embedded in the therapy relationship

• The focal, identity-shaping experiences (yours and theirs) that must be treated with care

, as well as trauma-informed and functional constructions of distress:

I use theory-informed strategies to explore transference, countertransference, and the use of self-disclosure and authenticity. Together, we’ll clarify:

• What’s yours, what’s theirs

• When and how to disclose

• How to stay authentic without losing clinical intentionality

I supervise and teach theory and intervention from Integrative Psychotherapy (e.g., Boswell et al., 2010) and Memory Reconsolidation (Ecker, Ticic, & Hulley, 2012)
I emphasize experiential and transformative work grounded in memory reconsolidation research, using:

• Strategic interventions

• Gestalt and two-chair techniques

• Provocative, emotion-driven, bottom-up change

Who It's For

• You want more than just compliance supervision

• You’re seeking personal and professional growth—not just hours

• You’re navigating complex trauma, enactments, deep affect, or hard-to-reach clients

• You’re a therapist who wants to do therapy better—not just do more of it
