Fall 2023 Update
I do not have any openings for individual supervision for licensure. My next supervision groups are starting in September.
Supervision
I have been challenged and supported in my own supervision relationships and feel incredibly privileged to have supervised MSW interns, staff therapists, and associate-level therapists over the last 10+ years. I am a Washington State approved supervisor in accordance with WAC 246-809-334, WAC 246-809-234, and WAC 246-809-134 and can provide clinical supervision to LSWAIC social workers, LMHCAs and LMFTAs working toward their independent licenses in Washington state.
I work to hold space for strengths, social justice, intersecting identities, and ethics while supporting you in your clinical work, your business practices, and professional development. There are a number of supervision frameworks in which I ground my supervisory practice. I appreciate what a relational psychodynamic approach to supervision offers including an attention to development, countertransference and parallel processes. Reflective supervision practices of infant and early childhood programs and family therapy highlight the importance of relationships, curiosity, mentalization, and collaboration. And Dr. Kenneth Hardy's work informs my goal to provide culturally attuned, anti-racist supervision.
While I have a specialty in perinatal mental health and primarily see individual adults, I commonly address issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, intrusive thoughts, trauma, parenting, attachment, transitions, roles and identities, and body image and acceptance in my therapeutic work. I pay attention to how oppression (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fat stigma, etc) manifests in our lives; to the anger, stress, grief and other emotions we experience living through a global pandemic and extraordinary gun violence in the US; and in the ways we find strength, resilience and power in community. I have worked in diverse settings with adults, adolescents, children and families including community mental health, home-based child and family services, medical settings, emergency psychiatric services, a partial hospitalization program, and in private practice in MA and WA.

I have found my psychodynamic social work education; my personal mindfulness practice; my grounding in attachment and relational work; my anti-oppression values; and the postgraduate training I've received in trauma, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and EMDR all inform my clinical and supervisory work. I believe we're always learning. In 2023, I obtained a certificate in Advanced Clinical Supervision at Smith College School for Social Work and I get regular consultation myself.
