Our clients recreate their problematic relationship patterns with us in the therapy relationship. Our unavoidable participation in these patterns provides a crucial window into their inner world. 

 Our unexpected participation in our clients' problematic relational patterns stirs up difficult feelings for us. It is not a question of whether we experience complicated feelings but whether we can use them constructively to serve understanding and change. Similar feelings and patterns can emerge in clinical consultation and supervision ("parallel process"), often leading to deeper insight and clinical changes. 

I believe supervision is most helpful when supervisors and supervisees speak openly and freely. I work to foster the mutual trust necessary for open communication and learning. Theoretically, I strive to provide a frame that encourages the exploration of transference, countertransference, and parallel processes.  

Supervision sessions typically move fluidly between process and technique, theory and practical clinical guidance. I utilize many theoretical models according to their relevance to each client and the clinical material that is present. One theoretical lens never fits all.
