Clinical Supervision

Over 14 years of experience providing clinical supervision to AMFT, ACSW, AND APCC. I have a strong track record of therapists passing their clinical exams to get licensed. I benefited from wonderful clinical supervisors and mentors myself and believe in giving back to the next generation of clinical professionals. I provide individual, group, and triad clinical supervision for clinicians paying themselves, and I also contract with agencies to provide clinical supervision.

Therapy for Professionals

I believe professionals need therapy too. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we all play a part in reducing stigma against mental health in our society. I lost my sister to suicide in 2005 and have a passion for reducing suicide attempts, completions, and increasing support to survivors left behind. I have volunteered on the Riverside County Coalition for Suicide Prevention, as well as American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

I have 31 years of experience working with children, youth, families, and adults in non-profit, for-profit, government, acute care, and hospice settings, as well as private practice. My specialties include children, adolescents, grief, loss, abuse and neglect, and trauma.

I have completed Basic (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Training, and utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative, Gestalt, Solution Focused and Motivational Interviewing. I have extensive training in trauma informed practices and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

I have been trained as a CARF accreditation surveyor and understand the guidelines and requirements on a first hand basis.
