Clinical Supervision

I am approved by the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers to provide clinical supervision towards licensure for Clinical Social Work Associates (CSWAs). I have worked in many different community mental health settings since 2013 and in several different roles, including being a clinical supervisor before starting my private practice. As part of my value system to create greater access to culturally responsive mental health services, I am passionate about nurturing the growth of social workers of color. Drawing from my own experiences of navigating predominantly white workplaces and systems as a person of color, this is very personal work for me and where I feel I am most effective. In other words, I only supervise people of color!

Rates:

15-minute meet & greet | Free
Individual Supervision | sliding scale* $100-150/hr

*My sliding scale for clinical supervision is based on where you are employed, what position you are in, and if your clinical supervision will be out-of-pocket vs. employer funded.

My Approach to Supervision

Providing mental health services is deeply personal work. Supervision with me is an opportunity to truly explore what brings you to this work and then how to reconcile where passion and values interact with professional ethics. My goal in providing supervision is to help you examine: what your strengths are, where you are most effective, where your growth edges are, what your blind spots are, what may be conflicts of interest. My only expectation for my supervisees is that you come to supervision prepared and curious. Yes, there will definitely be case consultation. Yes, you will sharpen your clinical skills (please see my therapy services page for my clinical background and approach to this work). Yes, we will look at evidence based practices, ethics, boundaries, vicarious trauma, burnout, and self-advocacy/knowing your worth in the workplace. And you bet we will also be talking about:

  • PARALLEL PROCESS

  • Transference & COUNTER TRANSFERENCE

  • MORAL INJURY in social work

  • Incorporating the SELF

  • Integrating SOCIAL JUSTICE, being equity-informed
