I'll prioritize your personal and professional wellbeing. I help with starting a private practice,
I connect supervisees with high-quality trainings and offer administrative guidance, including credentialing, marketing, billing, and private practice support. I see supervision as a collaboration support and provide guidance in client care, identity building, ethical decision-making, boundary setting/self-care, and personal and professional growth.
In our supervision sessions, you can expect me to be energetic, engaged, and enthusiastic. I lead with warmth and compassion while also challenging you to grow beyond your comfort zone. I strongly encourage self-care and support clinicians in building a career and practice that feels meaningful, sustainable, and aligned with their values.
