“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up [people] to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea”. (Antoine de Saint-Exupry)
I provide supervision to pre-licensed and licensed social workers, MFTs and psychologists. I am qualified to provide BBS-approved supervision for ASWs as well. I have extensive experience providing consultation to clinicians, policy makers, researchers and organizations on a range of topics including direct practice, clinical work with people who are incarcerated and formerly incarcerated, the dynamics of correctional/carceral systems, psychodynamic thinking, and trauma theory/practice (including the effects of trauma exposure on professional helpers) .
