Approach:
My focus is helping people find healing and identify their inner strengths. I do that by creating a safe, neutral space where you feel comfortable enough to explore what's really going on, listening closely, identifying the rooted issues, and processing them in a way that fosters real growth. I draw from a range of approaches including CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed methods, and I bring those same principles into the way I support the clinicians I supervise.
My Role at Insight:
I serve as the Clinical Supervisor for our team of associate therapists. While I'm not seeing clients directly through Insight Counseling Center, I'm closely involved in the quality of care every client receives. I provide ongoing clinical guidance, support, and consultation so our associates can show up fully prepared, ethically grounded, and genuinely effective in every session.
What I believe about this work:
I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and open-minded to all walks of life and relationship choices. I don't believe in judgment, and the work I support is rooted in that same spirit. My focus is on relational systems, mindfulness in our choices, and identifying the generational patterns that quietly shape how we behave, react, and relate. The goal is always to help people grow through their struggles, challenge unhelpful patterns, heal from past pain, and move forward with clarity.
How I support our therapists:
I want every clinician on our team to feel like they have someone in their corner. In supervision I stay curious rather than critical, I ask the kind of questions that open a case up instead of shutting it down, and I help our associates trust their own clinical instincts while they sharpen their skills. When a therapist feels steady and supported, that steadiness reaches their clients too.
What the team says about working with me:
That I make supervision feel safe instead of high-stakes. That they can bring me the cases keeping them up at night without feeling judged for it. That I help them slow down, think clearly, and trust their own read on a client. And that they walk out of our consultations steadier and more sure of the work they're doing.
Off the clock:
When I'm not supervising or working clinically, you'll find me running my creative ventures, exploring new projects, and spending time in the corners of life that bring me joy outside of the work.
