Quality Supervision to Shape Your Path as a Healer

Clinical Supervision

Professional Background

I bring over a decade of experience working with clients across outpatient and inpatient settings with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance use, boundary and relational challenges, stress management, and life transitions.

As a clinician, my approach is collaborative and holistic, integrating biological, psychological, environmental, and sociocultural influences in treatment. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, humanistic and relational approaches, as well as Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size® principles when supporting clients.

In addition to my private practice and clinical work, I co-founded WisePractice Institute with my longtime mentor and colleague, DeLinda Spain, LCSW-S, CGP. Together, we provide supervisor training and continuing education for mental health professionals across Texas, including our 40-Hour Clinical Supervision Training that fulfills state board requirements for LPC, LCSW, and LMFT supervisor designation.

I am an active member of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp™) and have served in leadership roles for Central Texas Eating Disorder Specialists and the Association for Size Diversity and Health. I regularly present at local, state, and national conferences and have contributed as an expert for publications such as Eating Disorder Hope, Addiction Hope, WebMD, Scary Mommy, and Fatherly.

Supervision Approach

One of my greatest joys as a supervisor is guiding new counselors through their developmental journey toward full licensure. I provide a supportive, structured, and growth-oriented environment where associates can build both competence and confidence.

My approach is informed by two core supervision models:

• The Integrated Developmental Model (Stoltenberg, McNeill, & Delworth, 1998) — recognizing that supervisees progress through common stages of professional growth, from novice to autonomous clinician, and tailoring supervision to meet their developmental needs.

• The Discrimination Model (Bernard, 1979, 1997) — a process-oriented framework that flexibly integrates three supervisory roles (teacher, counselor, consultant) with three core domains of supervision (intervention, conceptualization, personalization). This model allows me to intentionally shift roles and focus areas in response to supervisee needs in the moment.

My supervision approach is also highly influenced and shaped by my primary therapeutic modality, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Throughout the supervision process, I wear many hats — teacher, consultant, evaluator, administrator, counselor (within professional boundaries), and mentor. I provide both support and challenge, helping supervisees build technical skills, deepen case conceptualization, develop professional identity, and navigate ethical decision-making.

Supervision is not a “one size fits all” process. I tailor my approach to each supervisee, incorporating structured evaluation, reflective exercises, and (when appropriate) use of recordings, peer feedback, or role play. My goal is to help supervisees not only meet licensure requirements but also grow into grounded, ethical, and effective clinicians.

Values Guiding My Supervision

• Mutual Respect: A bi-directional foundation that includes openness to constructive feedback in both directions.

• Compassion: Supporting associates with empathy, remembering the vulnerability and growth of early-career clinicians.

• Non-Judgmental Encouragement & Support: Providing challenge without criticism, always fostering curiosity and growth.

• Challenge & Growth: Offering developmentally appropriate challenge so that supervisees have meaningful opportunities for professional and personal growth.
