Clinical supervision · Oregon LPC & LMFT associates

Supervision for associates growing into their own clinical voice.

Supervision for Oregon LPC and LMFT associates, one-on-one or in a small group. We'll talk through your cases, the ethical gray areas, and how the work is affecting you. I'll bring warmth and honest feedback.

The kind of supervision you'll actually look forward to.

This isn't a check-the-box hour. We'll look at how trauma, oppression, and identity show up in your cases and in you. We'll work through ethical dilemmas together, and we'll treat your reactions as information, not as failures. Expect to be challenged, to sit with some discomfort, and to get support that's honest and warm.

I know the road you're on. I spent over ten years in community mental health, where so many of us learn the work under real pressure, before building my own private practice. More than 15 years in, I hold two licenses (LMFT and LPC) and a credential as a registered art therapist (ATR).

Matched to your stage

We meet you where you are in your training and experience, and the work grows with you, from your first difficult session to the day you're fully licensed.

Relational & systemic

Your cases, your reactions, and the systems around your clients all belong in the room. We look at how they shape one another.

Creative, when it helps

As an art therapist, I sometimes invite image-making as a way to reflect on a case or a stuck place. It's always optional, and you never need to be "artistic."

What we work on

Building clinical skill without losing yourself in it.

Bring the case that's keeping you up at night, the documentation question you're embarrassed to ask, or the session that left you rattled. Nothing is too basic or too messy for supervision.

Good to know before we begin

What does "Supervisor Candidate" mean?

It's a status on the Oregon Board's Supervisor Registry. Supervisor Candidates are licensed counselors or therapists who have completed 30 hours of supervision training and passed the Board's supervisor law and rules exam, and who are qualified to supervise registered associates while working toward Approved Supervisor status.

Can you be my supervisor of record?

Yes. I can be listed as your supervisor on your Board-approved registration plan. We'll talk through your work setting, your plan, and what each of us is responsible for before we start.

Can you supervise me if I work at an agency or in someone else's practice?

Often, yes. Supervision can be off-site and privately contracted, so I don't need to work where you do. We'll look at your setting and your plan together before we start.
