ISTDP Supervision

Looking to improve your clinical skills as a Therapist?  

​

​

Both my parents were educators; my father a high school teacher and my mother a language Instructor in Spanish and Italian.  

​

Over the years, before entering the mental health field in 2008, I worked in a variety of educational settings. From 2016-2021 I was Adjunct Faculty with the California State University, Los Angeles School of Social Work, teaching both undergraduate and graduate-level courses.  

 I've completed a 3-year "Training of ISTDP Trainers" with Jon Frederickson, MSW.  

ISTDP Supervision is intended for ISTDP Trainees who have completed an ISTDP Pre-CORE, or are enrolled in ISTDP CORE training and have a basic grasp of ISTDP Principles.  Supervises must have video taped clinical work in order to receive ISTDP supervision.
