Are you a Master’s-level intern or a new graduate looking for structured, supportive, and professional clinical supervision? Do you want guidance to grow your clinical skills, navigate challenging cases, and develop confidence as a therapist? Are you seeking a supervisor who can provide both practical tools and emotional support during your internship journey?
Providing therapy is rewarding—but it can also be challenging, especially during your training and early in your career. Clinical supervision ensures that you are not navigating these challenges alone. It supports your professional growth while ensuring safe and ethical care for your clients.
Supervision is a vital component of training for mental health professionals. It provides:
• Guidance and feedback on clinical cases
• Support navigating ethical dilemmas and professional boundaries
• Opportunities to develop confidence, therapeutic presence, and intervention skills
• A safe space to explore feelings about challenging client interactions
• Preparation for licensure and professional practice
Supervision helps interns integrate theoretical knowledge with real-world practice, ensuring growth as a competent and reflective clinician.
I offer supervision on for individuals (1:1) as well as didactically (2 peers). Each supervision session is tailored to your unique needs and questions, generally combining support, education, and skill development. Depending on your learning goals, supervision may include:
• Case conceptualization and treatment planning guidance
• Evidence-based interventions and therapeutic techniques
• Ethical and legal considerations in clinical practice
• Role-play and feedback on therapeutic skills
• Support managing stress, countertransference, and self-care as a clinician
• Preparation for licensure and professional development
I provide a collaborative, compassionate, reflective, and strengths-based approach to supervision. My goal is to help interns:
• Build confidence in their clinical skills
• Develop critical thinking and decision-making as a therapist
• Reflect on personal and professional growth
• Learn strategies to manage challenges in clinical practice
Supervision is individualized, client-centered, and tailored to your learning objectives. I aim to create a professional yet supportive space where interns feel challenged, encouraged, and empowered.
Receiving high-quality supervision is an essential step in becoming an effective, ethical, and confident therapist. If you are a Master’s-level intern or new graduate seeking supervision, I invite you to reach out to for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss how I can support your growth and professional development.
I look forward to connecting!

What is clinical supervision?
Clinical supervision is a structured and supportive process where a licensed therapist guides and mentors interns through their clinical practice. It provides feedback, skill development, ethical guidance, and emotional support while helping interns meet professional and licensure requirements.
Who is eligible for supervision?
Master’s-level interns in counseling, social work, psychology, or related mental health fields who are completing clinical hours toward licensure can benefit from supervision. This includes interns in both part-time and full-time training programs.
How often do supervision sessions occur?
Supervision frequency varies depending on your program and training requirements. Most interns participate in weekly or biweekly supervision sessions, but the schedule can be tailored to your needs and program guidelines.
Can supervision count toward licensure hours?
Yes. Supervision sessions with a qualified licensed clinician count toward the clinical supervision hours required for licensure. I ensure that documentation aligns with state/provincial licensing requirements.
What will we focus on during supervision?
Supervision is personalized, but may include:
-Case conceptualization and treatment planning
-Developing therapeutic skills and interventions
-Ethical and legal guidance in clinical practice
-Reflection on countertransference and professional growth
-Preparation for licensure and career development
Is supervision only about discussing client cases?
No. While case review is a key component, supervision also includes professional development, skill-building, self-reflection, and guidance on managing the emotional demands of clinical work.
How is feedback given during supervision?
Feedback is constructive, collaborative, and strengths-based. You will receive guidance on areas for improvement as well as acknowledgment of your clinical growth and successes.
Can supervision help me prepare for licensure exams?
Yes. Supervision can include preparation for licensure exams, guidance on documentation, and support in meeting professional competency requirements.
What if I feel stuck or overwhelmed during my internship?
Supervision provides a safe space to process challenges, stress, or uncertainty in your clinical work. It is normal to encounter difficult cases or emotions, and supervision helps you navigate these experiences safely and effectively.
How do I get started with supervision?
To begin, reach out to schedule a consultation. We will discuss your training goals, licensure requirements, and how supervision can support your growth as a clinician.
