Background
In my career so far, I’ve had the privilege of working in some of the most challenging and impactful environments, from high-needs residential settings to intense crisis situations and forensic contexts.

For the past six years, I have been working in private practice, where I’ve had the opportunity to address a vast range of clinical issues across all ages. While my recent focus has been predominantly on working with adults, I also maintain a rewarding practice with teenage clients. This broad clinical experience enhances my ability to provide well-rounded, relevant supervision and mentorship.

One of the cornerstones of my supervision style is my warm, kind, and compassionate nature. I believe that a nurturing environment is crucial for effective learning and professional growth. My approach is not only supportive but also empathetic, ensuring that you feel understood and valued throughout our work together.
I’ve also been fortunate to work with and train under knowledgeable and experienced clinicians in the field. Their mentorship and guidance have deeply informed my practice, enriching my approach and broadening my perspective. This background enables me to offer you the benefit of diverse insights and evidence-based practices that can elevate your clinical skills and professional development.
