“Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others.” ― Harriet Goldhor Lerner

​Clinical Consultation


Providing compassionate, effective, and quality care for clients is my passion. In a similar vein, providing good supervision and/or consultation to other therapists is my way to support their work. This may also happen in the form of therapy for therapists. Throughout my graduate training and career, I have enjoyed providing supervision to therapist-in-training as well as consultation to my peers because both parties mutually and synergistically grow.  At this time, I would like to continue to facilitate such growth and deepening through clinical case consultation or therapy to licensed therapists. 

I learned that as I worked on myself through therapy and became more connected with myself, I noticed how it (surprisingly, which shouldn't be) benefits my work with my clients.  I become much more attuned to my clients and this deepening oftentimes comes with transformative shifts. My ability to empathize and feel what my clients might sense or feel increase exponentially. One needs to feel to heal. In naming, reflecting, modeling, and feeling the unpleasant and difficult affect associated with their narratives, I convey to them that they can give themselves the permission to feel and experience or express their emotions, even when society and others deem them unacceptable. This type of holding environment facilitates healing and transformation.  I receive these feedback repeatedly from clients. When they are finally able to connect with the emotions that they avoid for so long, they start the healing process. Witnessing their transformation further affirms my belief in what facilitates healing, transformation, and resilience.

"The capacity to fully experience one's feelings, particularly when they are intense and/or painful, is greatly enhanced
by being able to do so together with a supportive, empathic, and emotionally present other:
(Fosha, 2001, "The dyadic regulation of affect") 


 We ourselves are the best tool in our work.  Effective and good therapy requires authenticity and attunement from the therapists.  As such, working on ourselves (the therapists) as a tool or vehicle of change is critical in increasing our ability to provide such spaciousness in the therapeutic relationships. In our work together, I hope to help you to become more attuned and effective as a therapist while honoring your preferred theoretical orientations and work style.

If it is helpful to you, I hope my theoretical orientations (feminist/multicultural/social justice, interpersonal/attachment-based, emotion-focused, brain-based polyvagal theory, and Kohutian frameworks) will add depth to our conceptualizations and work together. As a therapist and consultant, I continue to challenge myself to grow and will support you in your own development as well. One important way of doing this is by incorporating evidence-based practice in our consultation, i.e., using a two-way feedback in our work. It would be an honor to support you in your professional journey and g
rowth, to help you become the master therapists you're meant to be!
