Approach to Supervision:
I am a clinical supervisor rooted in AAMFT supervision principles, systems theory, and the biopsychosocial model. I adopt a warm, casual, and collaborative approach that emphasizes medical accuracy and best practices. I encourage supervisees to explore the “self of the therapist,” helping them understand how their own experiences, beliefs, and emotions influence their clinical work. By integrating the biopsychosocial approach, I guide supervisees in considering the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of client care, while also reflecting on their own role within the therapeutic process. This holistic, self-reflective supervision fosters a deeper understanding of both client dynamics and personal professional growth.
