WASHINGTON STATE APPROVED CLINICAL SUPERVISOR

The licensure process can feel overwhelming and confusing

As a Washington State Approved Supervisor


It is my commitment to serve as clinical supervisor to those committed to the field of counseling, social work, and marriage and family therapy.


Providing continuity from university course work to front line experiences and fortifying the foundational skills needed for sound professional growth.

Let me help you navigate the process and steps it takes to become a fully licensed clinician in the State of Washington.


I utilize an Integrative Developmental Model of Supervision (IDM).  IDM views the growth of therapists “as progressing through three developmental stages or levels: Level 1, beginning; Level 2, intermediate; and Level 3, advanced…” (McNeill & Stoltenberg, 2016, 6 - 7)


My role as your supervisor is to focus on your development at each level through the lens of three supervisory structures: 

  • your motivation to become an effective psychotherapist, 
  • your ability to be autonomous in clinical practice and 
  • your ability to  be aware of yourself and others in your practice. 


Supervision requires feedback and evaluation. My expectation is to provide timely and useful feedback at the moment. Ongoing broad evaluation will be categorized in eight different domaines:


  • Intervention skills competence
  • Assessment techniques
  • Interpersonal assessment
  • Client conceptualization/diagnosis
  • Attention to individual differences in client work
  • Theoretical orientation
  • Treatment plans and goals
  • Professional ethics


Over the years, I have developed areas of expertise that can assist new clinicians in their work.  Below you can read more about my specialties in documentation, diagnosing and clinical work flow.
