With extensive experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations, helping them navigate challenges, heal wounds, and unlock their potential. I aim to provide a safe and nurturing space where individuals of all ages can explore their stories and find solace in the journey toward healing and growth.
Beyond my counseling role, I am a devoted advocate for mental health. My commitment to the field extends to training and supervising therapists, ensuring they're equipped with the tools to provide exceptional care. My background as a presenter and educator allows me to share insights and knowledge, contributing to the collective learning of our professional community.
Clinical Supervision
State Approved Clinical Supervisor for Iowa and Minnesota;
Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor
My approach to supervision is centered on fostering a nurturing environment where therapists can engage in authentic self-assessment, continually refining their work performance, counseling aptitude, and personal growth within their practice. My supervision framework melds a dynamic blend of educational guidance, insightful case conceptualization, collaborative exploration, and unwavering support.
As your supervisor, I am poised to fulfill multiple roles – as a knowledgeable teacher, a perceptive consultant, and an evaluator. I aspire to craft a haven of trust, allowing you to scrutinize your skills openly, to encounter novel ideas with an open mind, and to courageously experiment with these innovative techniques. This experimental atmosphere facilitates your clinical expansion, empowering you to traverse uncharted territories while honing your therapeutic proficiency.
Ultimately, I intend to provide you with the "safe space" to critically reflect on your practice, broaden your horizons, and embrace calculated risks that foster your professional evolution. Together, we will embark on an enriching journey to enhance your therapeutic craft and nurture your innate potential for growth.
