Oregon Board-Approved Supervisor | NBCC Approved Clinical Supervisor
Getting licensed is a long haul. You’re doing real clinical work, often in under-resourced settings, while logging hours, managing paperwork, and trying to figure out what kind of therapist you actually want to be. Good supervision makes that process feel less like surviving and more like becoming.
I’ve been supervising Oregon PCAs and MFTAs since 2016. I’m an Oregon Board-Approved Supervisor and a Nationally Approved Clinical Supervisor through NBCC. I’ve supervised in nonprofits, private practice, and community mental health — and I’ve worked in all of those settings myself, so I’m not going to give you advice that only makes sense in a vacuum.
What Supervision with Me Looks Like
I’m person-centered to my core, which means supervision isn’t me telling you what to do — it’s us figuring out what youneed to grow. I want to know your theoretical orientation, your instincts, your blind spots, and what lights you up. I’m genuinely interested in helping you build a career that’s sustainable and that actually fits who you are.
That said, I’ll also be honest with you. If something’s not working, we’ll talk about it. If you’re in a bad agency situation, I’ll help you think through it. If you’re burning out, I’d rather name it early than watch you white-knuckle through it.
Things I’m especially good at:
- Supporting clinicians working with unhoused folks, SPMI populations, and complex trauma
- TGD-competent practice and trans-affirming clinical frameworks
- Navigating agency politics without losing yourself
- Program development, group facilitation, and thinking beyond the individual therapy room
- The practical stuff: which hours count, how to read your board requirements, what to do when your agency supervisor isn’t cutting it
