Supervision

Empowering Supervision for MFTs and Sex Therapists

Whether you're training in Marriage & Family Therapy, Sex Therapy, or both, supervision with me can hold these dual threads. With deep grounding in both specialties, I support emerging and established therapists weave systemic thinking around sexual health, gender, relationships, and the body into informed, ethical, and authentic clinical practice.

I am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor licensed in Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina & Virginia. In addition to supervising pre-licensure Marriage & Family Therapists, as a Supervisor-In-Training for sex therapists and sexuality counselors, I also work with clinicians pursuing AASECT certifications as a Certified Sex Therapist or Certified Sexuality Counselor.

Supervision with me means working alongside someone deeply committed to cultural humility, collaboration, and staying abreast of latest research. You can expect a supportive, informed, and shame-free space where:

  • Growth is nurtured through curiosity

  • Clinical challenges are welcomed as opportunities to expand skills

  • Oppressive systemic forces are named and explored

  • You’re encouraged to develop your own distinct therapeutic voice

One Supervisor, Two Threads: MFT & Sex Therapy

Starting out? Supervision for pre-licensed therapists

If you’re in training, starting to see clients, and drawn to work holding the nuances of sexuality, gender, the body, chronic illness, and/or neurodivergence with a multi-systems lens, you’re in the right place.

I bring over 10 years of experience of private practice in Marriage & Family Therapy and Sex Therapy which translates to about 10,000+ hours spent sitting across from clients. Even I can admit that is a lot! I bring that depth of experience into supervision while honoring the valuable perspectives you also bring, showing up with cultural humility and curiosity so our work feels like a true partnership.

The best bit? With me, your clinical and supervision hours can count toward both your MFT licensure and AASECT certification. So you don’t need to double up. Many aren’t aware that you can begin accruing hours toward AASECT certification before you're licensed. That means that even if you're still figuring out whether AASECT certification is right for you, accruing hours with me now keeps the option open for an expedited and lower-cost process later on.

…and seasoned clinicians pursing AASECT certification

If you’re a licensed clinician pursuing AASECT certification as a Certified Sex Therapist or Certified Sexuality Counselor, I’m also here to support you. I offer supervision that respects the expertise you already bring while helping expand your clinical skills in new directions, and bringing new layers of awareness to your practice.

In supervision, you will benefit from the tremendous amount of knowledge I’ve built up from years of focused work and multi-disciplinary training in areas that most traditional sex therapists don’t have; women’s sexual health spanning pelvic pain and menstrual (dys)function, as well as the complex interplay of chronic conditions and sexuality across all genders. I share this expertise openly to help you access new perspectives and information, sharpen your practice, and support you to catch subtle dynamics like ableist microaggressions that might otherwise go unchecked.

Together, we will build on your strengths and fill in gaps you didn’t realize you were missing, leaving you confident that your client work is informed & well-attuned to these populations.

If you’re looking for a supervisor who can expand your expertise in women’s sexual health in a collaborative atmosphere, let’s connect.

Frequently-Asked Questions

  • My supervision rate is $200 for a 1-hour individual session, or a 2-hour group supervision session.

  • I primarily offer individual supervision, but group supervision may be arranged when a sufficient number of supervisees express interest in that format.

In my supervisees words…

  • “As Jessica's supervisee, I’ve felt incredibly supported, encouraged, and challenged in the best possible ways. Jessica brings a wealth of experience—particularly in sex therapy and relational work—and shares her knowledge with both clarity and generosity. She’s timely, responsive, and always willing to show up in whatever way is most helpful. Whether I need space to process, direction on a case, or feedback on clinical skills, she provides exactly the conversation and supervision I need in that moment.

    Jessica’s approach is warm, grounded, and refreshingly direct in a way that instantly puts you at ease. Her honesty and clarity build rapport quickly, and from the very beginning, I felt comfortable asking questions and exploring areas where I wanted to grow. She creates an environment that feels safe, collaborative, and deeply respectful. I never feel judged or inadequate—just supported and guided by someone who genuinely wants to see me thrive and who is deeply invested in strengthening the mental health field by helping develop confident, competent clinicians. I would highly recommend her to any client, organization, or therapist seeking a strong, thoughtful, and attuned supervisor.”

    Rachel Wise, MFTC

  • “I had the privilege of taking classes during my graduate program, as well as being supervised during pre-licensure by Jessica. Her therapeutic skills were always apparent and her feedback and insight was invaluable. Not only was she responsive to any concerns or questions, she provided suggestions while also encouraging me to think critically and recognize my own style/skills. It was clear that she cared about my ability to grow professionally, while also providing support to navigate all the challenges that come in day to day life.

    She is highly empathetic, knowledgeable, helpful, and constructive. I truly do not believe I would be the therapist I am today without her guidance and feedback. I know I am lucky to have someone I trust and respect to contact should I have any need for support throughout my career. I highly recommend Jessica and applaud both her passion for her patients, as well as all the effort she puts in to grow our profession.”

    Kyla Conway, Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner and Licensed Mental Health Practitioner

  • Jessica is an irreplicable supervisor. The knowledge, expertise, and experience she brings into each group or individual supervision session is influential, thought provoking, and most importantly, essential to my own progression as a clinician. The reason I initially reached out to Jessica to be my supervisor was due to having her as a professor in graduate school and admiring her intellect about the post-graduate world as well as her directiveness in how she taught and presented information to our class.

    While Jessica’s profession and niche is built around her passion of chronic pelvic pain, her comprehension of working through other matters extends far beyond. One thing I love about Jessica is the way she consistently challenges me. When consulting over a case I am struggling with, Jessica walks me through each step opposed to giving me ‘the answer,’ ultimately leading to me coming up with a way to move forward on my own, however, knowing I could not have made it there without her. I have heard so many horror supervisor stories and thus am beyond grateful for the professional relationship I have had the opportunity to develop with Jessica as my supervisor for the past three years. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Emma Fitzpatrick, Licensed Addiction Counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate

  • “I have had the privilege of working with Jessica for the past 9 years. Jessica has seen me through every stage of my career and development as a marriage and family therapist. She was a teacher in my master’s program, my post-master’s supervisor, and my mentor for supervisor credentials.

    One of the biggest reasons why I asked her to be my clinical supervisor was because of her strong ethics. I know that she will never lead me down a path that is harmful for myself or my clients. Jessica has been one of my biggest cheerleaders and challengers. Her ability to allow for space, compassion, and hold me accountable has made an incredibly positive impact on the way that I view myself in my roles as clinician, supervisor, teacher, friend, sister, daughter, and healer.”
