I am an LICSW, doctoral student in social work, and former Assistant Clinic Director with over five years of experience providing clinical supervision and mentorship. I have supervised MSW interns, LCSWs completing hours toward independent licensure, clinicians in group supervision, and multidisciplinary clinical teams. I view supervision as much more than completing hours toward licensure—it is an opportunity to develop your confidence and strengthen your clinical voice.
