Experience & Background
In our work together, I draw on my knowledge and appreciation of systemic psychotherapy, informed by 20 years of faculty experience educating, training, and supervising over 1,000 graduate and doctoral students.
Training Focus
-
Extensive experience in teaching, providing case consultations, and supporting the conceptualization of systemic theories, including brief psychotherapy, evidence-based practices, and modern and post-modern approaches.
-
In-depth expertise in teaching and consulting on the techniques of systemic psychotherapy, covering the scaffolding of therapeutic treatment, principles of talk therapy, process-focused practice, therapeutic assessment, goal setting, interventions for sustained client traction, and characterological transformation.
-
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 differences are pronounced.
-
A strong background in teaching, consulting, and supporting the integration of individual and family life cycle development in therapeutic practice.
Supervision Focus
-
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.
Supervision and Training Philosophy
My unique approach to supervision and training encourages activities that (a) challenge our perceptions of control, facilitating new ways of thinking and behaving in clinical settings, and (b) utilize fringe knowledge to raise awareness of our relationship with information, thereby encouraging a more nuanced and reflective practice.
