Clinical Supervision

Populations I Work With

I work primarily with adolescents and women in an outpatient mental health setting. Much of my clinical work focuses on individuals with histories of trauma, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder (BPD), as well as clients experiencing chronic emotional dysregulation, relationship instability, identity concerns, and difficulty managing intense emotions.

I frequently work with clients who present with complex, overlapping concerns and benefit from structured, skills-based treatment combined with a strong therapeutic relationship.

Treatment Approach

My clinical approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practices, while remaining relational, approachable, and conversational rather than clinical or rigid. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Schema Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Treatment often focuses on emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, trauma processing, and identifying and changing long-standing maladaptive patterns.

I emphasize clear treatment planning, consistent structure, and collaboration, while tailoring care to each client’s developmental stage, readiness, and individual goals.

What I Offer as a Supervisor

As a supervisor, I bring particular strength in supporting clinicians who work with high-acuity and complex populations. I provide guidance in treating trauma, eating disorders, and personality disorders within an outpatient setting, with strong emphasis on risk assessment, boundaries, documentation, and scope of practice.

I am especially well-suited to supervise interns and early-career clinicians who want to build confidence working with emotionally intense presentations, learn to apply structured treatment models in real-world practice, and develop sound clinical judgment. Supervision focuses not only on interventions, but on case conceptualization, treatment planning, ethical decision-making, and therapist self-awareness.

My goal in supervision is to help clinicians feel grounded, competent, and supported while doing challenging work—so they can provide effective care without burning out.

Supervisees are expected to:

• Arrive to supervision sessions prepared, on time, and ready to engage thoughtfully
• Bring cases, questions, and reflections to supervision rather than relying solely on directive guidance
• Practice within their current scope of training and licensure at all times
• Seek consultation promptly when encountering ethical concerns, risk issues, or clinical uncertainty
• Complete documentation accurately, timely, and in accordance with professional and regulatory standards (within 48 hours)
• Be open to feedback, self-reflection, and clinical growth, including addressing areas for improvement
• Maintain appropriate professional boundaries with clients, colleagues, and supervisors
• Communicate openly and respectfully regarding challenges, workload, scheduling, or concerns
• Adhere to all applicable Florida Board requirements, school requirements (if applicable), and practice policies
• Conduct all telehealth sessions and supervision activities from private, secure locations to ensure client confidentiality and HIPAA compliance
• Use only approved, secure technology platforms and safeguard all protected health information (PHI) from unauthorized access, including ensuring no individuals can overhear or view sessions

Supervision is intended to be a space for learning, development, and accountability. While mistakes are expected as part of growth, honesty, responsibility, and a willingness to learn are essential. The goal of supervision is to support supervisees in developing sound clinical judgment, ethical decision-making, and a sustainable professional identity within an ethical, compliant telehealth practice.

Registered Intern Supervision
Supervision for Registered Clinical Social Work Interns is offered at a rate of $125 per supervision hour. This includes structured, individualized supervision focused on clinical development, ethical practice, and professional growth.

Registered interns who are employed by Therapy by the Bay receive supervision at no cost as part of their role within the practice.

Student Intern Supervision
Supervision for graduate-level student interns is provided at no cost. Student internship positions are unpaid, and availability is limited due to the level of training, oversight, and support required. Placement decisions are made thoughtfully to ensure a high-quality learning experience for both the intern and the practice.

All supervision is provided in accordance with Florida board requirements and emphasizes supportive, intentional development at each stage of training.
