supervision
As a consulting supervisor, I am interested in transparent collaboration. I will sit in the mess with you as we puzzle through stuck points together. I enjoy getting to know your clients as human beings vicariously through you, and helping you develop your own unique clinical identity.
I will lovingly hold you accountable to critically examine your own identity in relationship to your clients, and how it relates to power dynamics and countertransference.
This applies to our relationship as well. I will hold myself accountable to address discomfort or hurt that you experience in the supervisory relationship, and use this as an opportunity for us to practice experiencing the cycle of rupture and repair.
I specialize in supervising practitioners who are doing trauma-centered work and/or Developmental Transformations. I also have experience supervising other modalities of drama therapy and other mental health specializations.
a few thoughts on shame
A primary theme that I notice over and over again—in trauma work, in cultural work, in systems, and in teaching—is shame.
Lived experience and previous harm within educational settings can deeply influence a person’s sense of safety and vulnerability in the supervisory or teaching relationship. Likewise, many teaching and work environments have caused real harm.
There is no such thing as a relationship that is preserved from harm; however, I aim to create a learning environment in which harm, impasse, and activation can be discussed without fear of judgment or punishment.
