Individual Supervision
I offer individual supervision for AMFTs who are interested in learning about inpatient and residential level of care treatment services, wraparound care, treating severe and acute mental illness, case management of complex cases, postpartum depression and anxiety, high conflict couples, treating children and teens and leading process/psychoeducational groups.
Self Care Club
In this group, we explore sustainable self-care practices in community. Each session begins with a grounding meditation and intention-setting, followed by open group sharing and process work. We close with a meditation or guided journaling practice to support integration. Self Care Club is designed to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself while establishing consistent, meaningful self-care practices — all within a supportive and compassionate space.
