I enjoy working with supervisees as a thought partner, coach, supervisor, and mentor. I believe growth happens when we are rooted in our integrity, engaging curiosity, leaning into discomfort, and embracing humor. I have extensive experience supervising clinical and macro social workers, advocates, counselors and clinicians in community health, non-profit, and private practice settings.
As a therapist and as a clinical supervisor my role is to support you in deepening your wisdom and increasing your skills to navigate life, mental health, relationships, and professional growth in ways that are aligned with your needs and values. I do this through an intersectional, social justice, and strengths-based approach.
I am committed to increasing access to healing, justice, and care for those who are most marginalized. I focus on working with BIPOC and Latine clients, transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, folks from queer, bisexual, asexual, lesbian, and gay communities, neurodivergent individuals, folks who practice kink, and non-monogamy/polyamory.
