clinical supervision
Clinical work calls for ongoing reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to keep learning. Supervision offers a space to think carefully about your work, explore questions that arise in treatment, and deepen your understanding of the therapeutic process.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic thinking and close attention to the particularity of each patient. Together, we consider the course of treatment, the therapeutic relationship, and how to listen and respond in ways that support the work. Theory informs our conversations while leaving room for complexity, uncertainty, and discovery.
I aim to provide a thoughtful, collegial setting where you can develop your clinical judgment and find greater confidence in your own way of working. Both newer and experienced clinicians can benefit from having room to pause, consider another perspective, and return to their work with a fuller understanding.
For clinicians working with children, supervision also includes attention to play, emotional development, and collaboration with parents. We explore ways to support the child’s treatment while helping parents better understand and respond to their child’s needs.
