Hands together signifying teamwork in clinical supervision.

Areas of Focus in Supervision

I am an approved supervisor providing associate-level clinical social workers supervision toward toward licensure throughout Washington State.

 

More than just hours on a form, I work with social workers to become the type of clinician you dreamed about being in grad school.

  • Clinical Development

    • Developing a clinical identity and theoretical orientation that's genuinely yours and that you can explain and defend

    • Strengthening how you think through assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning

    • Recognizing and using counter-transference as useful clinical information and staying grounded in the midst of it

    • Examining how your own identities, biases, and blind spots intersect with your clients' and what that means for the therapeutic relationship

  • Ethical & Legal Frameworks

    • Getting familiar with the WAC/RCW requirements, NASW Code of Ethics, and board standards well enough to apply them with confidence in real situations

    • Building documentation systems that work for you and hold up under review

  • Career Development

    • Exploring your clinical interests and finding trainings and materials that help you hone them

    • Building toward private practice, a specialization, or whatever comes next after licensure

    • Practicing feedback that's direct and useful, in both directions
