Clinical Supervision

For California Licensure-Seeking Clinicians

Since 2006, I have provided individual supervision for clinicians in private practice and agency settings.

As your supervisor, I want to ensure that you obtain advanced knowledge so that your skills and abilities can be applied to client populations in an ethical and competent manner. I see my role as educative, supportive, and administrative.

I aim to create a supervisory relationship that is built on trust, confidentiality, support, and empathy. You will gradually grow in self-awareness and autonomy, with more confidence in developing your particular style over time.

Here are BBS information and resources for applicants, about the Board’s licensing programs, including requirements for licensure, school information, and forms/publications.

FAQs

 

What type of license do you possess?

I maintain a current and active California license (LCSW #26374) that is not under suspension or probation.

Have you met all the requirements to be a supervisor?

Yes, I completed the 15-hour course in supervision in 2006 and again in 2014. I also completed a course aimed at supervising AMFTs and APCCs in 2020. As specified by the law, I have provided direct supervision to individuals who perform psychotherapy for at least two years within the last five years.

Who can you supervise?

I can supervise clinicians seeking an LCSW, LPCC, or LMFT license.

 

How long have you been supervising clinicians?

I have been supervising since 2006. I began working with MSW student interns and then in 2012, I also began providing supervision to licensure-seeking candidates. Outside of my private practice, I have provided supervision at the UCSF/SFGH Trauma Recovery Center and at Kaiser Permanente where I am a clinical supervisor and the Training Co-Director of the Post-Master’s Fellowship Program. I’ve also been a contracted supervisor with The International Rescue Committee, Partnerships for Trauma Recovery, and Jewish Family and Community Services.

Do you practice from a particular theoretical orientation?

I draw mainly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.

Do you have any specialty areas of practice?

I possess a Certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C). I also have extensive training in treating trauma.

I view mental health and wellness through a social justice lens that is attentive to issues of race, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, and spirituality.

 

Do you provide group supervision?

I do not provide group supervision at this time.

What are your fees?

Individual supervision is $125 per hour. I reserve a portion of sliding scale appointments to accommodate clinicians in training, so please contact me if you do not feel able to pay this amount!

Do you offer supervision online?

Yes, I provide supervision in person and through a secure video platform. Note: during COVID (and while the BBS has the in-person waiver in place) supervision is only offered via video.
