Clinical Training, Supervision, and Consultation

  • Consultation Services

    My passion for my work extends to helping other professionals in the field to find their own voice and talents within this very difficult work.  I have taught at UCLA, USC, and LMU and guest lectured at UC Berkeley.  

    As a person of color, I strongly believe in the importance of integrating the whole person, in context of their intersectionalities and the social system, into one's clinical work.  This involves creating space for personal reflection, empathy, insight and empowerment.  

    I directed the Westside Domestic Violence Network, which networks across the entire system of care including law enforcement, child welfare and mental health.  Because of my role, I am familiar with a wide-array of systems and community resources.  Often, I am able to connect other professionals with each other to benefit and strengthen the field.  

    Also, I have managed and worked in many different programs such as:

    • school settings

    • shelter-based programs

    • residential treatment

    • health care and hospital

    • outpatient mental health clinics

    • crisis response and drop in centers

    • diversion programs

    • substance abuse treatment

    • early childhood education

    • home visiting and field-based work

  • A parade with people holding rainbow flags and banners, including one that reads 'Latino Equality Alliance,' celebrating LGBTQ pride and diversity.

    Clinical consultation and professional development can be offered a number of ways:

    • Individual clinical supervision

    • Group supervision (on-site and off-site)

    • Intern training

    • One-time professional development consultation

  • A book cover with a drawing of wavy blue lines depicting water and a small red and white boat floating on the waves. The top part has a quote that reads, 'Strawberry stroke my body remembers that I life and cries for the lost parts of itself... Mary Oliver'.

    Clinical Training

    I currently offer training services to support professionals in the social service field as well as providing on-site consultation and capacity-building services.  Through my work as the director of the Westside Domestic Violence Network, I have facilitated and conducted small skill-building workshops as well as large conferences.  

    I have taught full-semester and quarter courses for graduate-level social work students covering basic clinical skills, evidence-based models (e.g., CBT, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing), family therapy, child mental health, attachment-theory, neurobiology and couples therapy.  I’ve provided tailored trainings for clinical organizations and run clinical supervision groups.

    I have a passion for the infinite process of learning, but not just learning, but the types of connections that occur and the deep fulfillment of learning through interactions and social connections.

    I offer a free 30-minute consult in order to tailor the training to your particular needs.
