Clinical supervision for LMSWs in Austin, TX and across Texas

Become the clinician you aspire to be

As a supervisor, my goal is to help you grow into the clinician you want to become. Grounded in the principles and values of social work, as well as Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) guidelines, I provide a supportive and collaborative environment where we can explore the theoretical orientations and practice approaches that resonate most with you.

What to expect from clinical supervision

In our work together, we’ll focus not only on the technical aspects of clinical practice but also on the essential task of understanding how you’re responding to your work. We’ll delve into your thoughts, feelings, questions, and concerns, ensuring you develop a deep and reflective approach to your practice.

My supervision is also informed by my experience in the corporate world, which means I can offer practical guidance on navigating the business side of clinical practice. This includes:

Establishing a Specialty or Niche: I can help you identify and develop your clinical focus, whether it’s working with specific populations or employing certain therapeutic modalities.

Setting and Negotiating Fees: We’ll discuss strategies for setting competitive yet fair fees, negotiating rates, and managing the financial aspects of your practice.

Practice Location and Collaboration: I’ll assist you in determining the best settings and partnerships for your practice, ensuring you’re working in environments that support your professional goals.

Marketing and Growing Your Practice: Learn effective ways to market your services, attract clients, and sustainably grow your practice.

Theoretical orientation and approaches

In my clinical work, I draw from a range of theoretical orientations, including Modern Analysis, attachment- and trauma-informed care, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), mindfulness and behavioral approaches such as Problem Solving Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I am committed to continuous learning and currently engage in ongoing training and supervision with the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies in New York City. My other training includes work with the Center for Group Studies and the Austin Group Psychotherapy Society. Additionally, I am a certified Problem Solving Therapist.

Support for career changers and non-traditional paths

If you’re transitioning from a different career or role, you’ll find that I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with this shift—I made the transition myself. I take an active interest in your prior experiences and what led you to clinical social work. Together, we’ll explore how your background enriches your practice and how to navigate the unique experiences of career changers and those on non-traditional paths.
