Relational and systemic, one-to-one supervision for marriage & family therapist candidates — based in Louisville, and open to candidates across Boulder County and all of Colorado, online or in person. A steady place to grow your judgment and your confidence as you work toward licensure, not just fill a logbook.
people, not problems
the work beneath
the hours
The hours of candidacy ask a lot of you. Individual supervision is where a lot of the real growth happens — a sustained, one-to-one relationship built around your actual cases and the clinician you're becoming.
Across every client you'll ever see, the one constant is you. So much of the work is learning to see how you show up in the room — to name what you already do well, and to turn instinct into judgment you can trust on purpose.
technique you can look up. judgment you have to grow.
Over months, I come to know your work — your patterns, your instincts, your edges — so the thinking we do together gets sharper, and more yours, the longer we go.
how i see what
you bring me
My orientation is narrative and experiential. I came to it through two teachers — Drs. Lindsay Edwards and H. Luis Vargas at Regis, who shaped me as much as a person as a clinician — and through the older systemic lineage of Satir and White. In practice, I'm less interested in a tidy diagnosis than in the patterns and stories a client is living inside, and in the subtle ways those patterns tug on you, the therapist in the room.
you won't leave sounding like me. you'll leave sounding more like you.
what our hour holds
A working hour that's genuinely yours — shaped around the cases in front of you and the clinician you're becoming.
You bring the case that's staying with you, and we think it through together: the family in the room, the system around them, and the spot where you've gotten caught.
- your real caseload — the clients in front of you now, thought through with you, not at you
- your patterns across cases, understood over time
- honest attention to your own reactions — the self every session runs through
- your particular style, named and strengthened until it's yours on purpose
- one steady set of eyes through the long stretch toward licensure
how it works
Individual, one-to-one supervision — we set a time together that fits your week and your caseload, with no fixed slot to work around. We start with a conversation, not a contract.
the right fit matters more than anything.
for the clinician
you're becoming
If you're building toward licensure and you want a supervisor who'll learn your work over time — your cases, your instincts, your particular way of being with people — and help you grow real clinical judgment, this is built for you. Especially if you're drawn to relational, systemic, or experiential work, and you want these years to shape you into a clinician you're proud to be. Individual and group supervision do different work, and many candidates value both — if a cohort calls to you, I co-lead one of those, too.
see if we're a good fit
The supervisory relationship matters more than almost anything in these years. So let's start with a short, no-pressure conversation — and if the way I work isn't what you need, I'll gladly point you toward someone who is.
