I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State offering individual supervision to LMSWs and MHCs looking to earn their clinical hours towards licensure. I can also provide supervision and mentorship to other mental health practitioners looking to deepen or expand their practice. I am currently accepting new supervisees.

As your clinical supervisor, my aim is to provide guidance as you strengthen your clinical experience and therapeutic skills. We will work collaboratively to discover your style, strengths, and how your personal identity informs and impacts your work as a budding clinician. When we meet, we will discuss cases, treatment strategies, transference/countertransference dynamics, boundary work, and any questions that may arise. I hold clinical experience in working in schools, the foster care system, with mothers, parent-child dyadic work, and young children. I provide a trauma-informed lens both in my practice and as a clinical supervisor.

My supervisory style is largely informed by relational psychodynamic trainings and attachment theory. I offer a safe space that celebrates our unique selves, welcomes mistakes, and recognizes the integral need for connection and attunement within us all. I believe key aspects of supervision include exploring self-care, providing resources towards evidence-based practices, recognizing and overcoming vicarious trauma, preventing burnout, and building further awareness of our own emotional processes.

While many LMSWs and LMHCs work in settings where licensure-eligible clinical supervision is not available, I am able to contract with your agency or professional setting, and offer individual or group supervision for yourself and your colleagues.
