CLINICAL SUPERVISION & CONSULTATION
Countertransference is NOT a dirty word!
That’s right, countertransference isn't a bad thing. It’s an unavoidable reality of human existance. Let’s stop pretending it doesn’t happen, treating it like a clinical flaw, or avoiding the conversation entirely.
Through years of supervising clinicians, and having sat in the supervisee chair myself, I’ve learned that countertransference shouldn’t be shamed or pathologized. It is one of the most powerful tools clinicians have to understand ourselves and deepen our work.
How can we expect clients to do the hard work of looking within if we aren’t willing to do the same?
Supervision & Consultation Grounded in Real World Situations
Navigating the complexities of clinical work isn't about following a script or textbook. Our personal histories, blind spots, and reactions inevitably enter the therapy room, and unpacking them takes real courage and vulnerability.
Most of your growth as a clinician will come from your own willingness to look inward and take calculated risks. My job isn't to hand you all the answers; it’s to hold a non-judgemental, transparent container and uphold our ethical gatekeeping standards, so you have the support and real-world feedback you need to build your own clinical competence and confidence.
Specialized Areas of Focus
Bringing over 15 years of supervisory and consulting experience across high-impact clinical settings:
-
Adolescent Therapy & Crisis Intervention: Navigating complex teen dynamics, emotional dysregulation, and family systems.
-
Couples & Marriage Counseling: Untangling high-conflict relational patterns, infidelity, and attachment ruptures.
-
Trauma-Focused Interventions: Grounded, evidence-based trauma care that prioritizes client safety and stabilization.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Concrete skill-building in distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindfulness.
The Clinician as the Instrument
Just like an elite athlete or dancer whose body is their instrument, a therapist’s own mind, reactions, and nervous system are the tools of our trade.
To master this work, we must continuously explore, understand, and manage our own emotional triggers, beliefs, and patterns. That takes radical self-reflection, transparency, and the courage to bring what we learn into actual practice.
I practice what I preach: I still actively seek out my own clinical consultation and personal guidance. It is a serious commitment, and it gets uncomfortable at times. But when done right, the payoff is twofold...not only do you become a competent, more confident clinician, but your personal life deepens and expands alongside your work.
We have to
"walk" our "talk."
