Clinical Supervision & Consultation

I have over 16 years of experience providing clinical & programmatic supervision to:

• LCSW, LMSW, & LMHC clinicians

• Case Managers, Harm Reduction Counselors,  HIV Counselors & Testers and other Social Service Support Staff

• Directors of Mental Health, Community Health, and Case Management programs
   

​​I provide weekly & bi-weekly, group supervision to client-facing/front line staff.

I also offer programmatic support to non-profits and can assist with program startup, senior staff on-boarding and quality improvement projects. Recent topics for which I offered program support include:

​

• Electronic Health Record Implementation & Workflow Improvement

• New York State, Outpatient Mental Health (Article 31) Regulatory Compliance

• Program redesign and implementation

Telepsychotherapy

​

My style is warm, active, and authentic. I welcome laughter and questions in therapy. Having worked in LGBTQ social services and public health for over 20 years, I am sensitive to the stressors and challenges that come with living outside of hetero/ cisgender norms.  I also work to recognize racist, sexist, classist assumptions in mental health that undermine wellness.

​

I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner and have found this therapy helpful to clients feeling "stuck," or experiencing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, or intense negative self-beliefs.  I also incorporate the following approaches in my work:

​

• Psycho-dynamic

• Cognitive-Behavioral 

• Harm Reduction

​

As a Queer-identified parent, I am also happy to support clients around a variety of topics including coming out, physical/social transition & Queer parenthood.
