Don't settle for
mediocre supervision.
Feminist. Integrative. Developmental.

My Approach
As a relational and multicultural supervisor, I believe in the power of the supervisory relationship to serve as a corrective experience. Supervisor trauma is real ya'll.
We'll navigate dynamics of power, repair, and growth together. I hope you'll experience was depthful, intentional supervision actually feels like.
I specialize in fostering connection. I highly value trust, authenticity and a balance of independence and support within the supervisory relationship.
My supervisees tell me that they feel safe with me to try new things, like advocating, slowing down, working through imposter syndrome and exploring recurring patterns.
Mission
Feminist
We'll explore dynamics of power, privilege and oppression in the therapy space and within the supervisory relationship.
I'm not the expert. We co-create supervision and both have knowledge to contribute.
I own my identities as a white, hetero, straight-sized, able-bodied cis woman and help you own yours.
Together we uncover how these identities show up between us, and between you and your clients.

therapeutic relationship
I'm as likely to talk about parallel process as I am to nerd out about specific interventions.
I draw from various supervision models and tailor my approach to your needs.
I'll help you conceptualize from various theoretical orientations or
delve into the orientation you call home.
Mission
Developmental
Maybe you're just starting out and want direction and hands-on tools.
Maybe you're already licensed and want challenge and integration.
Maybe you're on the long road to licensure and feeling stuck and aimless.
My passion is to advance your goals, learning, integration and growth.
I'm rooted in my supervision philosophy and from there I adapt to your developmental level.
We'll talk about what you need up front, and all along the way.
How We'll Conceptualize Clients
I incorporate Relational-Cultural Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Psychodynamic and ACT.
My work with clients focuses on relationship concerns, family of origin dynamics, early career professionals, systemic oppression and integration of cultural identities.
I specialize developmental trauma, relational trauma and attachment dynamics in the nervous system.
