Credentials: LCSW
Title: Clinical Supervisor
Pronouns: she/her
Who I Work Best With:
I help social workers and counselors feel confident in their abilities to work with clients across the lifespan, from children and families to adolescents and adults, so they can guide every client through the healing process with confidence.
Working with children, families, and the adults connected to them is some of the most meaningful and most exhausting work in our field. If you are provisionally licensed and trying to find your footing, or experienced but craving supervision that actually goes deep, you deserve a supervisor who truly understands the complexity of your caseload. I help social workers and counselors build confidence and sustainability in their work so they can show up fully for their clients without burning out in the process.
Your caseload may span generations. Maybe you see children and parents, adolescents navigating identity and family stress, or adults who are doing their own healing. Your work can be heavy, and you do not always have someone to process it with. Perhaps you are building a private practice that sees a range of ages and you want guidance from someone who has been there. Maybe you are a school-based clinician, agency or community mental health therapist who feels isolated and wants support from someone who understands family systems, developmental complexity, and the adults sitting across from you too. If you are absorbing vicarious trauma across your whole caseload, you may be looking for a supervision relationship that supports your long-term sustainability in the field. If any of this sounds familiar, you are exactly who I work with.
I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, community based mental health centers, outpatient facilities, and private practice settings, and I can provide clinical supervision and consultation to clinicians in any of these settings. I can provide individual supervision, group supervision, individual consultation, and group consultation to aspiring and experienced therapists.
Leah is able to provide clinical supervision in Colorado. Leah is an independent contractor with Firelight Supervision.
Supervision
STYLE
My supervision style comes from a humanistic approach because authenticity and trust is an important part of the supervisory process. I believe that relationships are a strong part of the therapeutic process, and the supervisory relationship is just as essential for client success. Clinical supervision or consultation allows for mutual exploration of both the journey you are on as a therapist, but also the journey you are on with your clients. If you are at a job where supervision is not offered or you are just not meshing well with the clinical supervisor you have, I might be a great fit for you.
I understand what it’s like not having the right clinical support when you need it most. Early in my career I was working with supervisors who I did not connect with and it made it difficult to be vulnerable and honest about the struggles I was having. Because of this, I wanted to commit to creating a safe space for my peers or early career clinicians to process what is needed in order for your professional growth to take place.

Supervision Training and Experience:
I have provided supervision to pre-licensed social workers and counselors in a variety of settings, and I am currently obtaining the Approved Clinical Supervisor credential, which entails 45 hours of supervision-specific training. Over the course of my career I have worked in many settings including child welfare agencies, schools, residential treatment facilities, community mental health agencies and group and private practice settings.
When I am not working I love spending time with my husband and daughter. Listening to live music is what fills my soul with joy so any time I have the chance to see a show I do! I am also a bit of a TV junkie so I’m often caught up in a new show to help me unwind at the end of the day.
