Supervision for Therapists in Seattle, Washington State, and Beyond
When I reflect on what shaped me most as a therapist, I keep returning to the supervision I received early on—spaces where I was seen, stretched, and reminded why this work matters. Now, I offer that kind of space to others. If you’re pursuing LMFT licensure in Washington or working toward AASECT certification anywhere in the country, I offer supervision that’s structured, compassionate, and grounded in real clinical work.
Who I Supervise
I work with:
Pre-licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT associates)
Therapists-in-training seeking AASECT certification in sex therapy
Mental health professionals expanding into relational, identity, or sex-focused work
Licensed clinicians who want ongoing supervision or ethical support
Whether you’re new to the field or refining your voice after years of practice, you’re welcome here.
How I Work
Supervision isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about becoming the kind of clinician you want to be. I bring curiosity, depth, and humor to our work. We’ll look at the clinical and the human, the theories and the places where things feel stuck. Together, we’ll explore:
Case formulation and client dynamics
Sexual health, desire, trauma, and intimacy
Identity and intersectionality in clinical practice
When you’re in your head, or when you’re in too deep
Your values, your voice, your capacity to keep growing
My style is collaborative and direct, always grounded in mutual respect and a commitment to client care.
