Clinical Supervision & Consultation
The experience of receiving quality clinical supervision or consultation can be transformative for any clinician. Whether new or seasoned, we all require a container to safely explore our experiences, to learn, and to grow. I believe the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong endeavor, and one of the greatest joys of my career is arriving at a place where I can support others on their journey. With over five years of experience as a reflective and clinical supervisor, I do not take this role lightly and am committed to supporting your growth and development.

Read on for more about my areas of expertise, clinical approach, and supervisory values to see if we might be a good fit.

Expertise
My areas of expertise include working with children (ages 0-10), adolescents, women in the perinatal period, caregivers, and families from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds in the areas of trauma, attachment injuries, emotion regulation, behavioral concerns, perinatal mental health, and parent/caregiver coaching. Disorders that I have significant experience assessing and treating include PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Selective Mutism, ADHD, and other behavioral issues (defiance, impulse control, aggression, etc.).
What to Expect
Just as I utilize authenticity and attunement to establish strong therapeutic relationships, I employ these same qualities to grow our supervisory relationship into a safe, trusting space where we can address the full spectrum of your needs as a clinician. All supervision will contain components of administrative guidance, educational content and thoughtful support. In addition to these, in working with me you can expect supervision that is purposefully multicultural, accommodating to varied learning styles, and allows space for you to cultivate your own unique clinical style.
Clinical Approach
& Supervision Values
I draw upon many theories and approaches, including Synergetic Play Therapy, Attachment Theory, Feminist Theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Polyvagal Theory. But what does that really mean for you as a supervisee/consultee? It means that you can count on me to show up with authenticity; readiness to hold and regulate your nervous system even in the most stressful of times; prioritization of relationships, including exploration of power differentials and the parallel process; and integration of a wide variety of skills including creativity, movement and mindfulness to process and learn from your experiences. In turn, from you, I expect self-reflection, curiosity, occasional vulnerability, dedication to social justice, and willingness to consider new ideas.
What type of supervision or consultation is right for you?

Clinical supervision is offered to early-career clinical social work or professional counselor candidates pursuing licensure in the state of Colorado. Individual and group opportunities are available.

Clinical consultation is available to those more experienced clinicians for the purposes of ongoing professional growth as well as to those needing one-time or brief clinical guidance related to specific clinical concerns close to my areas of expertise, regardless of licensure status.

Mental health consultation is available on a short- or long-term basis to members of the community outside of the mental health field including teachers, childcare providers, home visitors, and healthcare providers.
Essential Clinical Supervision Components
From establishing a foundation of trust to addressing the emotional toll of therapeutic work, we delve into the key components that empower you to navigate the complexities of your role and, in doing so, enhance the quality of care you provide and your own well-being.
01
Cultivating a Relationship of Trust
The relationship between a supervisor and a mental health therapist is built on trust. Establishing a safe space where therapists feel comfortable discussing their cases, exploring their doubts, and sharing their vulnerabilities is fundamental to successful clinical supervision in mental health.
03
02
Navigating Ethical and Legal Considerations
Mental health therapists often grapple with ethical dilemmas unique to their field. Effective clinical supervision addresses these challenges, providing a forum for discussing ethical considerations, navigating complex situations, and ensuring that therapists uphold the highest standards of professional conduct.
Supporting Emotional Well-being
The nature of mental health therapy can take an emotional toll on therapists. Successful clinical supervision involves recognizing and addressing the emotional challenges therapists may encounter, providing a supportive outlet for processing difficult cases, and fostering resilience in the face of vicarious trauma.
04
Encouraging Self-Reflection and Personal Growth
Central to the success of clinical supervision in mental health is the encouragement of self-reflection. Supervisors guide therapists in examining their own biases, exploring countertransference, and fostering a commitment to ongoing personal growth, ensuring that therapists continue to evolve both professionally and personally.

05
Facilitating Specialized Training and Skill Development
Mental health therapy is a diverse and dynamic field, requiring therapists to continually expand their skill set. Successful clinical supervision includes opportunities for specialized training, skill development, and staying abreast of emerging therapeutic modalities to enhance the effectiveness of therapy.
