Management Training
Social service nonprofits often excel at responding to client and staff crises, but may struggle with developing the strong management practices required for staff and clients to truly flourish. New managers may find themselves in "sink or swim" situations where they are constantly reacting to crises and are rarely able to provide the consistent, proactive management that is so helpful.
While many great management trainings exist, few of them respond to the unique challenges of managing in a client-service context. Effective management looks different when responding to urgent safety issues like suicidal clients, EMS calls, and mandated reports. I have created specialized workshops that address these specific clinical management issues. Management trainings can range from 2 hours to a full day depending on the needs of the organization. Based on my 15 years as a social service manager, all trainings are engaging, hands-on, and focused on concrete skill development within client-serving settings.

Coaching
You may have moved into a new leadership role without sufficient support or training to have the full impact you want. Maybe you are struggling with motivating your team or delivering critical feedback to under-performing staff.
I specialize in assisting new managers adjust to the challenges of their new role, and helping mid-career managers level up their skills for even greater results. My approach will help you identify your unique management style and strengths, build trusting and performance-driven relationships with your staff, understand the group dynamics of diverse teams, and map out how your role fits into the greater organizational system in order to influence outcomes.
Many of my coaching clients have found that even a handful of sessions can have a multiplier effect on their management practices. Get in touch to discuss how I can help you increase your impact.

Clinical Supervision &
Clinical Consultation
Are you a social worker or clinician looking for supervision that addresses identity, power, and systems? Have you felt stuck trying to respond to issues of race, gender, class, or sexual orientation in your clinical work? Do you need a space to explore the impact of your multifaceted identities on your work? Have you felt uncertain how to support clients in healing while they navigate multiple systems that cause harm?
Within a confidential supervision space we will explore how power, oppression, and privilege influence you as a clinician. One-time clinical consultation is also available to work through a specific challenging case. In addition to providing anti-oppressive clinical supervision since 2009, I also taught a required course in the graduate social work program at New York University on anti-oppressive practice for four years. My approach interweaves trauma-informed, intersectional, and relational perspectives.
I provide clinical supervision through partner organizations, as well as private clinical consultation to individual practitioners. I am also able to provide supervision hours that count toward the LCSW license in New York for eligible clinical work and settings. Contact me to learn more.
