Clinical Supervision

Clinical supervision is a critical part of the licensure process and a key component in professional development. Much like a therapeutic relationship, effective supervision is about finding the right fit. It thrives in an environment where you feel comfortable and supported, enabling you to be yourself and process your work in a safe, non-judgmental space.

​

I believe that the essence of growing as a therapist lies in exploring and understanding what arises as you engage with your clients. Therefore, it is crucial that both the supervisor and supervisee feel positively about their collaborative work. I offer an initial conversation at no charge, allowing us to discuss your goals and see if we are aligned in our approach.

My career began in 2002 at the Underground Railroad, where I managed admissions and provided survivor advocacy in a domestic violence shelter. I completed my BSW internship at a Children's Advocacy Center, investigating child sexual abuse, and continued in this role after graduation. After obtaining my MSW, I returned to the Underground Railroad as a domestic violence and sexual assault therapist, where I provided individual and group treatment. My experience extends to working within various departments of a large hospital system, offering crisis assistance, treatment planning, and counseling.

​

Since 2021, I have been practicing in private settings, specializing in trauma and mental health disorders. My training encompasses a wide range of modalities, including somatic techniques, psychodrama, experiential therapy, polyvagal theory, DBT, CBT, family systems, crisis intervention, and EMDR.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Social Work from Saginaw Valley State University and my Master’s degree from the University of Toronto, focusing on social justice and diversity. As a fully Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2008, I am committed to developing a long-term mentoring relationship with each of my supervisees, extending beyond the licensure process if desired.

If you’re looking for a supportive and experienced supervisor to help you navigate and enrich your professional journey, I would be delighted to explore this possibility with you.
