Clinical Supervision & Consultation in Oregon
Therapists need places to think out loud, stay curious, get challenged, and be accompanied in our work. I offer supervision and consultation for therapists, organizations, and families in Oregon, drawing on more than 25 years of clinical experience and a foundation in attachment-focused, relational, somatic, and experiential work.
My style is collaborative. I'm not here to hand you a script or tell you there's one right way to practice. I want to help you become clearer about the therapist you are becoming.....to understand what resonates with you, to notice where you get stuck, and to strengthen your ability to stay present when the work gets complex.
Sometimes I'll offer perspective.
Sometimes I'll challenge you.
Sometimes we'll slow something down and look at it together.
And sometimes you simply need another experienced person in the room while you find your own knowing.
I'd love to support you and your work.
Supervision, Consultation, and Continuing Education
COLLABORATIVE, NOT PASSIVE
I provide clinical supervision for therapists working toward licensure in Oregon, group supervision for organizations, and individual consultation for licensed therapists who want another mind on a complex case. I also consult with clinical teams and with families navigating hard dynamics with a child.
You don't need to share my theoretical orientation to work with me. What matters more is curiosity, and a willingness to think deeply about your own clinical voice. My goal isn't to create another version of me — it's to help you become more grounded in yours.
I've walked through the specifics, who this is for, how group supervision works, what consultation with a team or family looks like, and how CEUs may be available in the FAQ below. If you don't see your situation there, that's exactly what a conversation is for.
What It’s Like to Work Together
BECOMING GROUNDED IN YOUR OWN CLINICAL VOICE
I'm collaborative, but I'm not passive. I'll listen closely, ask questions, and tell you when I think something deserves another look. I'll always be interested in you, not only the client sitting across from you.....what happens in your body when this client enters the room, where you find yourself working too hard, what you notice yourself wanting to rescue, avoid, or rush. Those responses aren't failures. They're information.
I've been a licensed professional counselor since 2000 and have practiced in Bend, Oregon since 2006. My early training was in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, under the direct supervision of Daniel Hughes, PhD, and has since expanded to include mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, EMDR, somatic awareness, movement, and psychedelic-assisted work. I don't expect the therapists I supervise or consult with to share all of that.....but I bring the full breadth of it into the room, along with a willingness to sit with complexity without needing to force it into a neat answer.

Supervision is for therapists working toward licensure, it's ongoing, and it's tied to your path toward becoming registered in Oregon. Consultation is more occasional: you're already licensed, and you want another mind in the room for a case, a team question, or a family situation. If you're not sure which one fits, reach out and we'll figure it out together.
-
Yes. I generally ask that supervisees have some experience within an organization, agency, or therapeutic program, rather than moving directly from graduate school into solo private practice. That experience matters, there's a lot to learn in the room that can't be taught from a textbook alone.
-
No. You don't need to share my theoretical orientation or use the same modalities I do. My style is collaborative, and part of our work may be helping you clarify the theoretical approaches and interventions that align best with your own clinical philosophy.
-
Yes. I provide group supervision for organizations supporting clinicians working toward Oregon licensure, and I can shape it collaboratively with leadership around the experience level and needs of the group. I also supervise clinicians working toward becoming Registered Supervisors in Oregon.
-
Yes. I offer individual consultation for licensed therapists who want another perspective on complex cases, attachment dynamics, relational work, somatic approaches, or other clinical questions. You might come with a specific client in mind, a dynamic you can feel but haven't quite named, or simply a desire to stretch beyond your usual ways of working.
-
Yes. I offer consultation for teams and organizations and can shape the format around what your group actually needs: case consultation, team discussion, training, or something else. I'm especially interested in work that moves beyond labeling a behavior and gets curious about what it's protecting.
-
Yes. I consult with families who feel stuck in challenging dynamics with a child and want another perspective on what may be happening. My early training in attachment-focused work continues to shape how I understand behavior, I'm interested in the relational patterns around it, not just the behavior itself. The goal isn't to find fault with the child, the parent, or anyone else in the room. It's to get curious about the system together.
-
Based on the Oregon rules you provided, licensed counselors may be able to use up to five hours of work with a Board Approved Supervisor per reporting period as continuing education, which means your CEUs can sometimes be shaped directly around the work you're already doing, rather than whatever happens to be available that quarter. Because licensing requirements can change, I recommend confirming current eligibility with the relevant Oregon licensing board. Reach out if you're curious whether this could work for you.
