Past Experience
Prior supervision/mentoring experience
I have provided supervision since about 2017/2018 for individuals in private practice along with having experience as a supervisor for Care Management at Network 180 for two years.
Recently I expanded to provide group supervision in addition to individual supervision. I have mentored younger social workers through NASW MI and I provide consultation and support for fully licensed social workers. I take the approach of mentoring and collaboration verses a power over dynamic of being an expert in the field. I believe that all social workers know the answer but often struggle with the confident of their skills and taking their education and applying it to the real work of social work.

Additional comments
