ClInical Supervision, Consultation, & Professional Mentorship for Therapists in Washington

Build Clinical Confidence. Deepen Your Competence. Create a Sustainable Career.

Whether you are:

  • working toward licensure,

  • navigating complex cases,

  • rebuilding confidence after a professional challenge, or

  • creating a thriving private-pay practice,

supervision should do more than help you log hours.

It should help you become the clinician you want to be.

I provide reflective, growth-oriented supervision and consultation for therapists seeking to strengthen their clinical skills, deepen their case conceptualization, and build careers that are both meaningful and sustainable.

Available virtually throughout Washington State and in person in Woodinville.

Associate Therapists Seeking Licensure Hours

You need more than signatures on a supervision form.

You need a supervisor who can help you:

  • Build confidence in your clinical decisions

  • Develop strong case conceptualization skills

  • Navigate ethical dilemmas

  • Work effectively with complex clients

  • Develop your authentic therapeutic voice

  • Prepare for independent licensure

Licensed Therapists Seeking Clinical Consultation

Clinical consultation can help when you are:

  • Working with complex trauma

  • Treating ADHD or neurodivergent clients

  • Managing challenging clinical dynamics

  • Feeling uncertain about treatment direction

  • Expanding into new specialty areas

  • Looking for deeper case conceptualization

You do not have to navigate difficult cases alone.

Even experienced clinicians get stuck.

Supervision-of-Supervision for Washington State Clinical Supervisors

Are you preparing to become an approved clinical supervisor in Washington State?

I offer supervision and mentorship for licensed clinicians seeking to complete the 25 hours of supervision-of-supervision required by the Washington State Department of Health.

Topics may include:

• Models and approaches to clinical supervision
• Ethical and legal considerations in supervision
• Providing effective feedback and evaluation
• Managing difficult supervision conversations
• Gatekeeping and competency assessment
• Cultural humility and inclusive supervision practices

Therapists Completing Remedial Supervision

If the Washington Department of Health has required additional supervision as part of a corrective action plan, I provide structured, supportive, and professional supervision designed to help you:

  • Address identified concerns

  • Strengthen clinical competence

  • Improve documentation practices

  • Enhance ethical decision-making

  • Restore professional confidence

The goal is not punishment.

The goal is growth, accountability, and successful return to practice.

My Philosophy of Supervision

Most therapists enter this field because they want to help people.

Many leave because they are overwhelmed, burned out, isolated, or unsupported.

I believe effective supervision develops both the clinician and the person behind the clinician.

My supervision integrates:

Clinical Competence

  • Case conceptualization

  • Treatment planning

  • Clinical interventions

  • Assessment interpretation

  • Diagnostic considerations

Reflective Practice

  • Countertransference

  • Therapist self-awareness

  • Professional identity development

  • Values exploration

  • Clinical use of self

Ethical Decision Making

  • Documentation

  • Risk management

  • Scope of practice

  • Professional boundaries

  • Complex ethical situations

Sustainable Career Development

  • Preventing burnout

  • Building a private practice

  • Establishing professional boundaries

  • Creating sustainable caseloads

  • Developing long-term career satisfaction

Many supervisors focus primarily on helping you meet licensure requirements. While we will absolutely ensure you meet Washington State standards, my approach goes far beyond checking boxes. My goal is to help you become the kind of clinician who feels confident, ethical, thoughtful, and genuinely prepared for independent practice.
