Supervision & Consulting

Approach

My approach to supervision and consultation is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, parts work, the neurobiology of trauma and is grounded in an anti-racist intersectional feminist perspective. I integrate many therapeutic modalities into sessions and I aim to select an approach that best suits your personality, philosophy, work setting, systemic context, skill level, and experiential history. I will primarily adopt a teaching and coaching role with novice supervises (e.g., Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying, Registered Social Workers who would like to transition to clinical work or private practice) and more of a consultant role with more experienced professionals and organizations. My goal is always to protect client welfare, improve your skills and competence, and provide professional guidance and support, so that you can reach your fullest and most enjoyable potential.

*If you are a Member of the OCSWSSW and are considering starting a private practice, be sure to review the Guidelines for Performing the Controlled Act of Psychotherapy and the practice notes on “How do I know I am competent?” I am honored to support members of the OCSWSSW in building competency and journeying into private practice ethically.
