Clinical Supervision & Case Consultation

  • Supportive:

    I start by listening and learning the clinician’s needs and goals. Then seek to find strategies to scaffold and lift the clinician in ways that feel suited to their unique style.

  • Strengths-based:

    We identify the clinicians' natural and learned abilities; nurture them and nourish the reasons the therapist found themselves in the role. And, grow their sense of themselves and their global contributions to stave off burn-out

  • Anti-racist and culturally aware:

    Supervision will include anti-racist principles and active awareness of roles of race, identity, gender, privilege and culture as they play out in the therapy space. The racial structure of treatment and historical oppression act out in the therapy room and supervision will provide a safe but challenging space to contend with the enactments of inequities and support the loving container of therapy as a healing environment.

  • Collaborative:

    The supervisory work is relational and communal; intended to share many principles of the clinical space within the boundaries of the supervisor/supervisee relationship. Our work together is mutually informed, and our relationship is open for analysis and development. In supervision, feedback and in vivo discussions will be welcomed, initiated and provide real moments of connection.

I am a therapist, supervisor and student

 
 

My Experience

I have experience as a clinical director and supervisor offering individual and group supervision to new clinicians seeking to advance their practice, widen their clinical vision and navigate the challenges and humilities of clinical practice.

Feel free to review my CV which further outlines my theoretical orientations, trainings and clinical experience. Please be sure to review state guidelines regarding supervision toward clinical licensure. Happy to offer a free consultation to determine fit and happy to offer group supervision options for multiple clinicians who decide to complete supervisory training together. Sliding scale rates will be offered for supervision based on the clinician’s ability to pay.

My approach to supervision

Choosing a helping profession is also choosing a life of questioning and uncertainty about your decisions and interventions. Supervision is a joint experience rooted in safety and relationship where two minds embark to improve the lives of clients: one more familiar with the practice and the other an expert in their own rite. Supervision with me is encompassed in humility, self-compassion and honesty, where worries, blind spots, missteps and fears can be visible without judgement and mutual curiosity soothes the apprehensions associated with therapeutic care.
