My supervision style is collaborative, relational, and grounded in both the science of change and the art of therapy. I draw from a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and experiential approaches. Whether we’re exploring clinical dilemmas, countertransference, or system-level complexity, I hold a reflective space where both clients and therapists can remain at the center.
