Trauma-Informed Clinical Supervision & Consultation

For emerging and experienced clinicians who want space to grow, reflect, ask the hard questions, and build a sustainable practice.

Clinical work asks a lot of us.

We hold stories, navigate complex relationships, make difficult clinical and ethical decisions, manage systems that don’t always make our jobs easy, and somehow try to take care of ourselves while doing work that asks us to care deeply about other people.

Good supervision should care about your impact on the field—and the field’s impact on you.

Whether you’re building your clinical identity as a newer social worker or you’ve been doing this work for years, you deserve a space where you can think out loud, ask questions, work through uncertainty, strengthen your skills, and show up as a human being—not just a clinician.

My approach to supervision and consultation is collaborative, trauma-informed, strengths-based, person-centered, and grounded in both ethical practice and clinician well-being.

Collaborate with someone who just gets it.

Supervision with me isn’t about pretending I have every answer or expecting you to practice exactly the way I do.

It’s a place to get curious together.

We can slow complicated situations down, explore different perspectives, think critically about clinical decisions, notice what may be happening in the therapeutic relationship, and talk openly about the parts of this work that don't always make it into textbooks.

Depending on what you need, our work might include:

Clinical growth • Authentic practice • Ethical guidance • Sustainable well-being

We can also make room for the human side of being a therapist: confidence, imposter feelings, boundaries, burnout, emotional reactions to the work, professional identity, career transitions, and figuring out how to do meaningful work without completely draining yourself in the process.

Supervision for LICSW Candidates

Build your clinical skills—and the kind of clinician you want to become.

If you’re working toward your LICSW, supervision can be much more than accumulating required hours.

This is an important stage of your professional development. You’re gaining experience, developing clinical judgment, discovering what approaches resonate with you, navigating situations that aren't always clear-cut, and beginning to develop your own therapeutic identity.

Supervision can give you space to:

  • Build supervised clinical hours toward your LICSW

  • Strengthen clinical skills, confidence, and clinical judgment

  • Develop your individual therapeutic style and professional identity

  • Conceptualize complex cases and explore different treatment approaches

  • Navigate ethics, boundaries, documentation, and challenging clinical situations

  • Explore transference, countertransference, and therapeutic dynamics

  • Think critically about culture, identity, power, privilege, and the systems affecting our clients

  • Talk openly about mistakes, uncertainty, and the inevitable “What the hell do I do with this?” moments of clinical work

  • Develop sustainable boundaries and practices that support longevity in the field

  • Celebrate your growth instead of only focusing on what you still have to learn

You don't need to arrive at supervision already knowing the answer.

That's kind of the point of supervision.

Questions, uncertainty, curiosity, and reflection are welcome here.

Consultation for Established Clinicians

Because experienced therapists need therapists to talk to, too.

Having experience doesn't mean you stop encountering difficult cases, ethical gray areas, complicated therapeutic dynamics, professional transitions, or moments when you simply want another clinician's perspective.

Sometimes you don't need formal supervision.

You need a thoughtful clinical colleague who gets the work.

Consultation can provide space to:

  • Process complex cases and challenging clinical dynamics

  • Think through ethical questions and professional dilemmas

  • Explore boundaries, burnout, compassion fatigue, and sustainability

  • Work through difficult therapeutic relationships

  • Discuss clinical approaches, interventions, and case conceptualization

  • Explore career transitions or evolving professional roles

  • Reflect on your clinical identity and how your work is changing

  • Talk through situations that feel stuck

  • Get another perspective without being told there is only one “right” way to practice

  • Have thoughtful conversation with another clinician who understands the realities of this work

You can come with a specific question, an ongoing situation, a professional transition, or simply the feeling of:

“I need to talk this through with another therapist.”

That's enough.

My Supervision & Consultation Style

You’re not getting a clinical robot with a clipboard.

My style is:

Collaborative — We think together rather than me simply telling you what to do.

Compassionately accountable — Support and accountability can coexist. We can examine difficult things without shame being the teaching strategy.

Trauma-informed — I consider the impact of trauma not only on clients, but on clinicians and the systems in which we work.

Person-centered & strengths-based — Just as I believe clients bring their own insight and strengths into therapy, I believe clinicians do too.

Research-informed — We can draw from evidence, clinical literature, ethical standards, and established best practices while recognizing that real people rarely fit perfectly into textbook examples.

Holistic & integrative — I’m interested in the whole clinician: your skills, values, experiences, identity, nervous system, boundaries, relationships with the work, and professional goals.

Culturally responsive — Culture, identity, power, privilege, lived experience, and systems matter in clinical work and deserve space in supervision.

Human — Sometimes this work is meaningful and beautiful. Sometimes it is exhausting, confusing, frustrating, funny, uncomfortable, or all of those things before lunch.

We can talk about all of it.

The World Needs Social Workers.

Sustainable practice matters.

Burnout isn't a badge of honor.

Being a dedicated clinician doesn't require sacrificing your own well-being, ignoring your limits, or giving endlessly until there isn't much left of you.

Part of developing as a clinician is learning how to remain connected to the work without disappearing inside of it.

That can mean developing boundaries. Recognizing your own activation. Understanding what belongs to you and what belongs to the client. Learning when to consult. Building confidence without believing you're supposed to know everything. Making space for a life outside of your professional identity.

You are one of the instruments through which you do this work. Taking care of that instrument matters.
