Clinical Supervisor
I am a holistic and trauma therapist that provides individual & group therapy to adults navigating relational and complex trauma, anxiety, codependency, people pleasing, and perfectionism!
My other passion includes providing clinical supervision to therapists to support them in growing both personally and professionally. I hold my MSW from New York University and have been a therapist and group leader in IOP/PHP settings, group practice, and in my own private practice.
My Approach
My supervision style is relational, compassionate, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I support my supervisees in developing clinical insight, confidence, and navigating imposter syndrome! Together, we explore countertransference, how to support without over-extending, showing up authentically in the therapy room, all while learning to take care of ourselves and tending our own nervous systems. Therapeutically, I integrate somatic therapy, EMDR, mindful self compassion with a foundation of a relational approach as I also bring in humor and my human self!
What To Expect
Supervision is a space where we hold both the complexities of client work and the inner work that comes with being a therapist! I love helping clinicians find who they are as professionals and aligning with their own authenticity & intuition. This work is deeply meaningful and I aim to provide that space for supervisees to grow, find passion, and sustainability. For my own self care and joy - I love strength training, hiking, live music, breathwork and yoga practices!
