Clinical supervision is the process by which unlicensed clinicians work underneath a licensed clinician to fulfill their post-degree clinical hour requirements to obtain licensure. Supervision generally includes weekly or bi-weekly meetings during which time clinicians discuss a variety of topics related to their provision of clinical services. These topics include their clients, their therapy sessions, ethical issues, areas of professional development, theoretical implementation, the field of mental health, and more. Supervision provides a safe space for new clinicians to sharpen their therapeutic eye and skills, practice and get feedback on techniques, learn and grow from mistakes, and develop a professional identity.

At NDPS we are pleased to offer individual and group clinical supervision for persons entering our great field of mental health as new professionals. I am very passionate about the mentorship and development of young people, as well as, early career mental health professionals. I believe it is the duty of senior clinicians to help others reach their full potential as mental health providers. It is my desire to help early career clinicians find and hone their individual therapeutic voices and skills based upon their own unique personal strengths and experience. My goal is not to guide clinicians to do things as I would do them but rather is to help clinicians do the things the way they would like to do them but in the best way possible.

I am a State of Florida Qualified Supervisor for psychologist and mental health counselor interns. I am well-versed in many psychological and counseling theories and supervise individuals who present with a variety of ttheoretical orientations, backgrounds, and viewpoints. I believe our differences as clinicians are what make us strong as an industry in that it allows us to create safe spaces for patients from all walks of life.
