Consultant, LCSW Clinical Social Work Supervisor, LPC-Supervisor
I am a compassionate educator, a trauma therapist, and a caring mother to humans and cats. I enjoy the outdoors and indoors. I enjoy solitude and being in the company of humorous and caring friends.
I have been working in mental health since 2005. My experience ranges from residential treatment to private practice. My clinical practice focuses on trauma resolution, addiction recovery, and optimal wellness. I am a social work doctoral candidate at Smith College and clinical social work faculty at MSU Denver.
​My academic research focuses on creating trauma-informed higher education classrooms, in an effort to counter the domination and oppression faced by so many students. My hope is that by organizing higher education in this way that students are more prepared to continue their journey as healers.
Professional development can consist of varying practices including clinical supervision (individual or group), consultation, and continuing education. I believe that these practices are most successful when the relationship is collaborative and full of compassion. We have a responsibility to each other to create a brave space that allows for curiosity, exploration, discovery, and flow.
​My social work foundation: a culturally responsive, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reductive approach to micro, mezzo, and macro systems. I practice relational psychotherapy that is influenced by internal family systems and psychodynamic theory.
I believe in reducing the barriers to quality and compassionate supervision, consultation, and education. I practice this by offering affordable rates, providing a variety of formats for professional development, and attention to individual learning styles and abilities.
