I specialize in working with licensed professional counseling interns who are actively trained and interested in incorporating experiential/creative arts therapy approaches into their work.
I also supervise dance and expressive arts therapists to deepen and grow their clinical practices. My theoretical framework incorporates psychodynamic and attachment theory, relational approaches, and developmental neurobiology,
My approach to supervision supports understanding the complex dynamics between therapist and client within the therapeutic relationship.
- Engaging creativity to build internal resilience.
- Learning/practicing specific approaches such as authentic movement, sensory and somatic exploration.
- Deepening clinical effectiveness in navigating verbal and nonverbal methods.
- Understanding and navigating identity, diversity, and cultural competency.
- Exploring transference and countertransference material and content from challenging cases.
- Ethics and best practices for integrating verbal and nonverbal approaches in psychotherapy.
- Holistic and dynamic approaches to practice building.
