Clinical supervision

I provide clinical supervision to social workers who seek support for working with children and youth, specifically neurodivergent youth, those who have experienced trauma, and those with difficulties at school. If you are a social worker who would like to increase your student advocacy skills, your clinical skills for working with youth, your ability to work with parents and guardians, or your understanding of the neurodiversity paradigm.

My supervision style is based on a feminist psychotherapy model. Under this model, I believe that my role as a supervisor is to collaborate with the individual, and to invite trainees to see how our practice upholds or subverts oppressive norms in psychotherapy practice and in a larger social context. The feminist supervision model locates pathologies not in vulnerable individuals, but in the rigidities and biases of the larger systems in which they struggle to exist. Much like the work we do with our clients, I believe that the supervisory experience should examine power dynamics and seek to build egalitarian relationships. I also utilize critical pedagogy that facilitates constant questioning and reflection and ongoing dialogue on, and critique of, the socio-political, economic, and cultural power relations within society at large.

I am able to supervise limited license social workers in the State of Michigan. I am also available to supervise fully licensed social workers who want extra support or collaboration. Contact me to inquire about fees for supervision.
