Practice, supervision & consultation

Clinical leadership in Washington mental health care

I believe therapy and psychiatry work best when providers can coordinate directly, rather than asking clients to carry information between appointments. Alongside my leadership work, I supervise clinicians and consult with teams.

In supervision and consultation, we look at clinical questions in context: the relationships involved, the circumstances around a client, and the ethical choices a clinician needs to make.

Experience & areas of focus

My work spans integrated care, relationship systems, clinical supervision, and the development of clinicians.
