Psychotherapy & Consultation
For Professionals
Clinical supervision, Consultation,
& Professional Education
Supporting therapists in deepening their clinical work
with curiosity, connection, and compassion.
Thoughtful clinical work changes lives.
I provide consultation and professional education for therapists who want to deepen their work with trauma, attachment, dissociation, and complex relational presentations. My approach is experiental, relational, and integrative, informed primarily by Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), as well as psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, and trauma-focused approaches.
Whether we are exploring one partiular clinical moment or examining larger patterns within the therapeutic relationship, the goal is to help clinicians deelop greater confidence, flexibility, and depth in their work.
Individual Clinical Supervision
Individual supervision offers a dedicated space to think deeply about your clinical work, develop your therapeutic skills, and better understand what is unfolding within your clients and within the therapeutic relationship.
Our work may include case conceptualization, complex trauma and dissociation, attachment dynamics, therapeutic impasses, countertransference and therapist use of self, experiential interventions, and working with clients whose presentations do not fit neatly into a single diagnosis or treatment model.
Rather than focusing solely on what intervention to use, supervision explores what is happening in the room, why it is happening, and how the therapist can respond in a way that facilitates change.
60-minute individual supervision sessions available.
Clinical Supervision Groups
Small supervision groups provide clinicians with an opportunity to deeepen their work while learning from the experience and perspectives of other therapists.
Groups are relational and highly interactive rather than lecture-based. Members bring clinical material, challenging cases, therapeutic dilemmas, and moments in which they feel uncertain, stuck, or curious. Together, we explore the clinical work through the lenses of trauma, attachment, emotion, relational dynamics, and experiential psychotherapy.
Particular attention is given to working with complex trauma, dissociation, entrenched protective strategies/defenses, and the ways in which both therapist and client experience the therapeutic relationship.
Beginner and Intermediate groups forming now.
Workshops and Professional Trainings
Workshops are offered periodically at my Rochester, NY office and focus on practical, experiential approaches to complex trauma, dissociation, attachment, and clinical practice.

Speaking and Training Engagements
I offer engaging, clinically grounded presentations and trainings for therapists, mental health practices, professional engagements, and other groups interested in understanding trauma and the process of psychological healing.
My presentations combine clinical theory with real-world practice, helping clinicians move beyond diagnostic labels and symptom management toward a deeper understanding of how trauma shapes attachment, identity, emotion, relationships, and the developing self.
Presentations can be adapted for brief talks, clinical trainings, workshops, or longer-format professional education.
