Who I Work Best With:

I help early-career therapists and more experienced clinicians gain confidence in creating strong therapeutic relationships, providing trauma-informed care, and developing your clinical voice.

Perhaps you have developed skills or established a solid clinical foundation for your clinical practice, but lack the experience or expertise in trauma that you wish you had. Or, perhaps you don’t have as strong of a clinical foundation as you want, such as with clinical documentation, assessment and diagnosing, or systems. I especially enjoy working with early career professionals who are still finding their voice and style as clinicians. It’s a vulnerable and exciting time so having quality supervision in place can make a world of difference.

My goal is to support therapists who are motivated to develop their own professional style and eager to grow into confident, competent clinicians. You can build secure, attuned relationships with clients because clinical confidence often grows not just from evidenced-based interventions, but from how you cultivate the therapeutic relationship. We will explore establishing and maintaining therapeutic rapport, including how to connect with clients in meaningful ways, and how to navigate ruptures and repairs.

Whether you work with adults, children, teens or families, supervision can be informative, worthwhile, and engaging – a space where you can be your authentic self. In supervision or consultation, we will discuss not just clinical techniques and case conceptualizations, but also how to set and maintain healthy boundaries. We will also lean into how to manage countertransference and sustain yourself in a field that can be both rewarding and emotionally demanding. 

I provide individual supervision and consultation, and group supervision and group consultation, from a trauma-informed and systems perspective. I aim to create a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, fun, and ongoing learning, so that you can thrive professionally in your work as a clinician. I would love to support you on your journey!
