Supervision & Trainings

Hi, I’m Alex, a psychotherapist, breathwork facilitator, and clinical supervisor. I’m passionate about fostering growth, self-compassion, and professional resilience in newly licensed social workers and counselors. With experience in trauma-informed care, I bring a collaborative and supportive approach to supervision, drawing from modalities like sensorimotor psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and breathwork.

​

As a private practice therapist, I understand the unique challenges of working with trauma survivors and navigating private practice. My goal as a supervisor is to help you deepen your clinical skills, develop your professional identity, and build a practice that aligns with your values. Together, we’ll explore ways to hold space for your clients while also tending to your own well-being as a practitioner.

​

If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect for a consultation to discuss your supervision needs. Let’s create a supportive space for you to grow into the therapist you aspire to be.

​

As of May 2025, I have the necessary requirements to supervise LGSWs in DC and LSWs & LPCCs in Colorado. 

I offer trauma-informed trainings designed to help individuals, organizations, and helping professionals better understand the impact of trauma and build more compassionate, responsive ways of working with others.

​

Drawing from my clinical experience as a trauma therapist, I create trainings that are engaging, practical, and grounded in both research and real-world experience. Topics may include working with survivors of sexual assault, trauma and the nervous system, attachment, dissociation, somatic approaches, boundaries, emotional regulation, secondary trauma, and creating trauma-informed spaces.

 

Whether you are looking to strengthen your team’s trauma-informed practices, deepen clinical knowledge, or create a more supportive organizational culture, trainings can be tailored to your group’s specific needs. Available for individual workshops, organizational trainings, professional development sessions, and customized educational programming.
