PLAY THERAPY SUPERVISION GROUNDED IN RELATIONSHIP, GUIDED BY DEVELOPMENT, AND SHAPED THROUGH DELIBERATE AND REFLECTIVE PRACTICE!

I am a Registered Play Therapist–Supervisor (RPT-S) and a Certified Child-Centered Play Therapist and Supervisor through the University of North Texas (UNT). My training is deeply rooted in the philosophy and practice of Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), including advanced preparation in child-centered group play therapy and Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT). I have had the privilege of training under leaders in the field, including Brittany Wilson, Dee Ray, Sue Bratton, and Yi-Ju Chuang. Most recently, I completed a nine-month supervision-of-supervision intensive with Dr. Dee Ray, further deepening my commitment to reflective, relationship-centered supervision.

Is Supervision With Me a Good Fit?

Supervision with me may be a good fit if you are looking for:

A relationship-centered supervision experience grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy values
Supervision that emphasizes reflection, attunement, and use of self, not just technique
A developmental approach that adapts as your confidence, competence, and responsibilities grow
Space to explore clinical work honestly—without pressure to perform or “have it all figured out”
A supervisor who values ethical clarity, intentional practice, and professional identity development
Supervision that attends to both clinical skill and the emotional realities of therapeutic work

Supervision with me may be less aligned if you are primarily seeking:

A checklist-only or compliance-driven supervision experience
Highly prescriptive, manualized instruction without room for reflection
Supervision focused exclusively on productivity, outcomes, or speed

My goal is to support supervisees in becoming grounded, ethical, and confident clinicians who can integrate theory, skill, and relational presence in meaningful ways.

What Supervision With Me Emphasizes

Supervision with me emphasizes:

The therapist’s internal experience and clinical decision-making
Developmentally responsive supervision across stages of training
Attention to the therapeutic relationship and play process
Clinical integrity, ethics, and thoughtful documentation
Growth over time, rather than performance or perfection

My Supervisory Approach

My approach to supervision is person-centered and developmental, grounded in the same core conditions that guide effective play therapy: attunement, empathy, genuineness, and respect for the supervisee’s internal process. I view supervision as a relational space where growth occurs through reflection, curiosity, and attention to the parallel process between therapy and supervision.

Rather than focusing solely on technique, supervision with me emphasizes:

Deepening understanding of the therapeutic relationship
Developing confidence and intentionality in clinical decision-making
Integrating CCPT principles into one’s own authentic clinical style
Supporting professional identity development across developmental stages of practice

My goal is to offer a supportive, growth-oriented environment where supervisees feel both challenged and deeply supported as they evolve as play therapists.

Clinical Focus Informing Supervision

In my clinical work, I specialize in supporting:

Young children
Neurodivergent children
Individuals with trauma and attachment-related challenges

These areas of specialization strongly inform my supervision, particularly in helping clinicians slow down, track internal responses, conceptualize behavior developmentally, and remain grounded in relationship even amid complexity. In supervision, I am especially passionate about nurturing clinicians toward presence, authenticity, and clarity of professional identity—not just competence, but confidence in who they are as therapists.

What Supervision Consist Of

Supervision sessions often include viewing of recordings of supervisee's play therapy sessions, reflection on play sessions, exploration of the therapist’s experience, and consideration of clinical decision-making within the therapeutic relationship. The structure of supervision shifts as clinicians grow and their needs change.

Supervision FAQ's

Does this supervision count toward play therapy credentialing?

Yes. Play therapy supervision is offered in alignment with credentialing requirements for play therapy. Supervision focuses on play therapy theory, clinical skills, case conceptualization, and reflective practice consistent with credentialing standards. I recommend that supervisees confirm specific requirements with their credentialing body to ensure supervision hours apply to their individual pathway.

Do you offer individual and group supervision?

Yes. Both individual and small-group supervision are available. Individual supervision allows for focused, in-depth clinical reflection, while group supervision provides opportunities for shared learning, perspective-taking, and professional dialogue. Availability may vary based on current openings.

Is supervision available for graduate students and pre-licensed clinicians?

Yes. Supervision is available for graduate students completing practicum or internship requirements, as well as pre-licensed clinicians seeking supervision toward licensure. Supervision is developmentally responsive and tailored to the clinician’s level of training, clinical responsibilities, and professional goals.

Is supervision offered virtually?

Yes. Supervision is offered virtually. This allows clinicians to access supervision regardless of location while maintaining consistency, structure, and clinical integrity. Virtual supervision follows ethical and professional standards for confidentiality and supervision practice.

How do I know which supervision option is right for me?

If you are unsure which supervision pathway fits your needs, I encourage you to reach out so we can determine the most appropriate option based on your current situation and goals.
