Supervision & Consultation
In the vast ocean of professional possibilities...
Let me help you chart a path to success by offering clinical supervision and consultation, so you can navigate confidently and grow professionally.
Supervision for Social Work Supervisees
My Approach & Philosophy:
My mission is to help the next generation of social workers and mental health clinicians thrive. I provide a supportive and safe environment for you to develop a strong clinical foundation rooted in ethical practices, therapist development, conceptualization, and clinical skills. I believe in supporting professionals as they grow both personally and professionally.
While I won’t hold your hand, I will offer guidance and resources to navigate the licensure process. I will encourage and motivate you to stay committed to your goals, provide moral support during times of frustration or self-doubt, and celebrate your successes with you.
Recognizing that everyone’s journey and growth are unique, I tailor my approach accordingly. My expertise lies in trauma-focused therapy and EMDR, with a special focus on military mental health and trauma in adults. Drawing from over 8 years of experience in this field and a lifetime immersed in military culture as a military brat and spouse, I bring a unique perspective to my work, integrating holistic, inclusive, attachment-focused, somatic techniques, and empowerment infused with humor.
What is Independent Clinical Social Work supervision?
As an NASW Qualified Supervisor and Virginia Board-Approved Supervisor, I can offer virtual supervision for social workers in Alaska and Virginia for those working towards their LCSW licensure outside of their agency or employer. To ensure that I can effectively guide, support, and oversee your progress, I may have to collaborate with your employer should we need to review your client notes, treatment plans, and consult on therapeutic interventions. A minimum of 1 hour per week is typically required, but if additional supervision is needed, we can arrange a combination of individual and group sessions based on availability. Please check in with your state board for approval and requirements.

Consultation
Are you a mental health professional passionate about trauma-informed care and serving those who serve? Looking to refer your client/patient to EMDR, but you’re not sure what it is or if it’s a fit? I am thrilled to offer clinical consultation services to fellow mental health professionals and peers seeking expertise and guidance on various clinical issues, cultural competency, and clinical application. Additionally, I can provide training and consultation on how to support clients, especially for those in the military and veteran communities. You can check out my professional background here.
