Supervision & Consultation

While the terms supervision and consultation are often used interchangeably, they carry important distinctions. In supervision, I take responsibility for the unlicensed supervisee’s clients under my license. In consultation, however, the clinician is licensed and fully responsible for their clients under their own license. Since I do not take on unlicensed clinicians in my private practice at this time, I follow a consultation model, even if I may refer to it as supervision. In this model, clinicians remain responsible for their own clients, while I provide valuable feedback to help them engage with their work and clients in deeper and more meaningful ways. From here on, I will refer to this consultative process as supervision.

In my work with clinicians across disciplines—psychology, psychiatry, social work, and counseling—my focus is on fostering curiosity as the foundation for growth and development. With experience in both individual and group supervision, my approach is rooted in a broadly psychodynamic framework, integrating a non-pathologizing and culturally humble stance, while also drawing on other theoretical modalities. I believe that each clinician’s unique perspective is invaluable, and my role is to support them in becoming the best version of their professional selves.

A key part of my supervision is teaching clinicians to navigate the interplay between the there-and-then and the here-and-now in their therapeutic work. This involves learning how to effectively utilize transference, countertransference, and process-oriented interventions, while blending these insights with their theoretical framework of choice. Whether you identify as a psychodynamic clinician or align more with cognitive-behavioral, or person-centered schools, integrating your approach with an ability to capitalize on what is happening in the room will deepen your therapeutic work and foster more meaningful and facilitative connections with your clients.

I offer one-on-one supervision as well as group supervision. For group supervision, if you have colleagues with whom you would like to form a supervision group (3 to 6 people), please contact me, and I will provide supervision for your group. At this time, I do not have any open supervision groups for individual clinicians to join.

For fees and additional information, please feel free to contact me.

Questions to answer with potential supervisee

As someone considering your supervision, here are a few questions that come to mind:

  1. Structure and Expectations: What does a typical supervision session look like with you? Is there a structure you tend to follow, or does it depend on the clinician’s needs for that session?
  2. Frequency: How often do you recommend meeting for supervision or consultation? Is this flexible based on my schedule and caseload?
  3. Case Material: How much case material would you expect me to bring to each session? Should I prepare specific cases for every session, or is the process more spontaneous?
  4. Feedback Style: How do you typically give feedback—do you focus on areas for improvement, strengths, or a blend of both? Would you say your style is more directive or reflective?
  5. Long-Term Growth: How do you help clinicians track their progress over time? Do you set specific goals at the beginning of the supervision process?
  6. Availability: Are you available between sessions if a significant issue arises with a client, or do you prefer to address everything during scheduled supervision times?
  7. Group Supervision: For group supervision, what is the ideal number of participants, and how do you balance the needs of each member within the group?

In supervision, I provide a reflective space to help clinicians navigate the complexities of their work with curiosity and support.
