Training Experience
-
Extensive knowledge and experience in teaching, providing case consultations, and supporting the conceptualization of systemic theories, including brief psychotherapy, evidence-based practices, modern, and post-modern approaches.

Expansive knowledge and established proficiency in teaching and consulting on the techniques of systemic psychotherapy, covering the scaffolding of treatment, principles of systemic talk therapy, process-focused practice, contextual therapeutic assessment, purpose-driven goal setting, and interventions for sustained client traction.
-
Significant experience in teaching and guiding the development of therapeutic and relational skills essential for establishing and sustaining meaningful client contact, particularly in contexts where generational, physical, political, social, economic, cultural, religious, and identity differences are pronounced.
-
Strong background in teaching, consulting, and supporting the integration of individual and family life cycle development in therapeutic practice.
Supervision Experience
-
Extensive experience providing advanced post-graduate supervision in both California and Colorado, with a focus on advancing clinical skills and enhancing professional growth.
-
Proven track record in supporting scholarly contributions and fostering service to the profession, encouraging growth beyond clinical practice.
-
Significant experience in supervising graduate and doctoral students in practicum, internship, and techniques courses, ensuring comprehensive skill development and academic success.
Training & Supervision Philosophy
My approach to training and supervision rests on a simple claim: clinical excellence grows from technical skill and from the ongoing professional and personal development of the clinician and supervisor.
I value learning experiences that center character and professional esteem in growth, because who we are shapes how we practice.
From this standpoint, practice and supervision become a disciplined process of reflection and renewal. The work aims to keep clinicians and supervisors-in-process aligned with their values, integrity, ethics, virtue, purpose, and presence.
