Working with Jules
I offer clinical supervision for Registered Associates across Oregon, including Portland, Eugene, and Corvallis. In addition to supervision, I also offer assessments for letters supporting access to gender-affirming medical care.
Note: I am not currently accepting new clients for ongoing therapy.
CLINICAL SUPERVISION IN OREGON
My approach is curious, gentle, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and grounded in social justice and identity-affirming care. This isn’t the kind of supervision that asks you to perform neutrality, mute your identity, or pretend the work doesn’t affect you—all in the name of “professionalism.”
If you’re early in your career, you might be holding a lot—imposter syndrome, gaps in your training, and the frustrating realization that grad school cost a fortune but didn’t teach you how to actually make a living. You're likely left with a pile of student debt and little guidance on taking insurance, getting paid sustainably, or documenting in a way that keeps you from dreading audits. In supervision, we work through all of that—together. I offer practical, values-aligned support to help you build a practice that’s ethical, financially viable, and grounded in who you are.
In supervision, I support you in building confidence, trusting your clinical intuition, and finding your own voice as a therapist. We explore power—how it shows up in therapy, in supervision, and across systems—and work through the unspoken rules that shape our roles. Together, we build tools for practicing with clarity, integrity, and sustainability. (Burnout is not a rite of passage.)
CORE VALUES
In both clinical and supervisory work, I operate from a decolonial lens, center cultural humility, and actively challenge systemic oppression, white supremacy, and the ongoing legacies of colonial violence. This isn’t a side note—it’s the foundation.
I have a strong background in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and tend to work best with therapists drawn to reflective, relational, or liberatory approaches. While I’m not rigid about modality, if your framework is strictly behavioral or CBT-based, we may not be the best fit—unless you’re open to critically examining how those models are shaped by settler colonialism, patriarchy, and carceral logic.
ABOUT ME
I’m a queer, white, neurodiverse, gender-expansive therapist and clinical supervisor living and working in Portland, Oregon. I’ve been in the mental health field for over a decade. Before becoming a therapist, I was a bartender—turns out both jobs involve a lot of listening, boundaries, and emotional triage.
When I’m not doing this work, I’m probably hanging out with my chihuahua Buffy (yes, that Buffy), riding bikes year-round, climbing rocks, or rearranging my ever-growing collection of aroids. I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy and usually have a steady rotation of post-, instrumental sludge, and atmospheric doom metal playing in the background. (Not during supervision though. Promise.)
