Clinical Supervision for Aspiring Therapists
As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) approved by the Montana Board of Behavioral Health since 2015, I’m passionate about guiding the next generation of therapists. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field and four years dedicated to providing clinical supervision, I offer a supportive, collaborative space where aspiring clinicians can grow with confidence.
​
My approach to supervision is grounded in a deep commitment to ethical practice, clinical excellence, and personal development. I view supervision not just as a requirement for licensure, but as a powerful opportunity to build self-awareness, strengthen clinical skills, and explore the complex and rewarding work of being a therapist.
​
Whether you’re navigating your first client sessions, facing challenging cases, or working through questions around theory and identity, I’m here to help you feel supported and never alone on your path to becoming a licensed mental health professional.
