Supervision is a crucial and transformative process for new clinicians and their professional development. My passion for becoming a supervisor was ignited by an incredibly supportive supervision experience during my internship. I felt truly seen, encouraged, and gained a wealth of clinical knowledge. My supervisor's vast expertise, focus on professionalism and ethics, and ability to balance attention to content, process, and the therapist's self were invaluable. Through his guidance, I was empowered to think critically and independently, and I came to deeply understand the impact and importance of his role.

Unfortunately, I have also experienced less supportive supervision, where I didn’t receive the guidance, ethical direction, or engagement that I needed. One supervisor overshared personal details, lacked involvement, and failed to uphold professional standards. This created an environment where I didn’t gain helpful insights or develop new skills, and it was disheartening to see such a lack of care and professionalism.

Both positive and negative experiences have deeply shaped my approach to supervision. I understand how overwhelming and anxiety-inducing it can be to enter this field, and I believe a good supervisor can act as an anchor, offering guidance and support during the often stressful learning process.

As a supervisor, my primary goal is to nurture, teach, and model core competencies, helping to develop competent, effective, and ethically grounded clinicians. I aim to cultivate professionals who possess strong theoretical knowledge, excellent clinical skills, and a deep commitment to ethical care.

In my role as a clinical supervisor, I wear many hats—mentor, teacher, consultant, coach, emotional support, and cheerleader. I am committed to creating supervisory relationships based on trust, openness, vulnerability, and a shared commitment to quality work. My goal is for my supervisees to feel supported, valued, and empowered, knowing that I believe in their unique strengths and potential.

My supervision rate is $150 per hour for individual supervision and $85 per hour per supervisee for dyadic supervision. This rate reflects the extensive training and experience required to become an AAMFT-approved supervisor, which includes 30 hours of class instruction, 36 hours of supervised supervision, and at least 180 hours of providing supervision over an 18-month period. I have also completed the Washington State Approved Supervisor credentials, which require 15 hours of class instruction and 25 hours of supervision training.
