Clinical Consultation, Clinical Social Work Supervision, Trainings + Workshops

In order to build towards a world where those of us living in the margins — who are Black/BIPOC folks and all People of the Global Majority (PGM), trans/nonbinary & gender-expansive, d/Disabled, sick, chronically ill, poor, working class, criminalized, incarcerated, undocumented / migrants, fat, queer, dark-skinned, in recovery, and otherwise oppressed — can be free.. it’s going to take more than just therapy.

Because I believe in a future where my clients (and I) can find safety everywhere in the world, my work extends beyond the therapy room.

My Training & Clinical Credentials

My Community Work and Publications

To this end, I offer…

Education, Training, and Community Support

Workshops and trainings for community groups, organizations, and programs that want to deepen their commitment to building relationships with, serving alongside and on behalf of, collaborating with, and taking leadership from survivors of trauma, dissociation, and severe abuse, and other oppressed communities
Restorative Process facilitation (I completed in summer of 2024 my training as a Circle Keeper with Metro Detroit Restorative Justice Network)

Clinical Consultation and supervision

in a non-supervisory capacity to therapists and social workers providing therapy, mental health services, and case management in community mental health settings, or in private and nonprofit practice settings that serve high-acuity clients (both 1:1 and group consultations offered)
Clinical social work supervision to LLMSW practitioners

I love helping other therapists think through stuck points and tricky situations in their work with clients — especially when working with folks who navigate…

Eating disorders and disordered eating
Severe attachment problems, or have labels like “conduct disorder,” “intermittent explosive disorder,” “reactive attachment disorder,” and “disruptive mood dysregulation disorder,” including both youth and adults, as well as folks who have been given diagnoses of personality disorders.
Survival and navigation of ongoing abuse, homelessness, or severe psychosocial crises
Past or ongoing human trafficking, torture, organized and extreme abuse
Non-consensual (mandated) engagement in therapy due to a legal, familial, or other requirement
Past “treatment failure,” dropping out (or being pushed out) of therapy, not finding therapy helpful even after many years of work and/or working with many different providers, treatments, or programs
Difficulties with appropriate parenting, and/or parenting without having been parented well
Dissociative conditions / structural dissociation (DID/OSDD)
Attachment and trauma care needs of immigrants and children or family of immigrants
Reliance on criminalized survival economies, sex work, and survival sex
Past or current legal involvement, including incarceration experiences
Questions about gender identity and/or ambivalence or complex questions about medical and legal gender transition

In August of 2025, I completed the National Association of Social Workers’ Core Supervision Training. I first served as a supervisor to MSW interns during my past employment at Ruth Ellis Center’s Health and Wellness Center in 2017; however, the beginnings of my work educating University of Michigan MSW Candidates began as a high school student and youth organizer offering multi-day seminars about gender-affirming care to enrolled students in the program’s Sexual Health Certificate Program. It is these experiences and credentials that equip me to provide both targeted clinical consultation, as well as ongoing practicum / licensure supervision for both MSW Student Interns as well as limited licensed clinical social workers beginning to practice therapy, case management, and other direct mental health services with marginalized groups.

I’ve been writing successful letters for gender-affirming healthcare since 2016, and can guide you through how to conduct a clinically comprehensive assessment with a trauma-informed lens, emphasizing best practices in informed consent processes as well as clarification of your role and obligations in the process, and composing affirming and respectful letters that receive approval from hospitals, surgeons, and third-party payors.

Speaking + Training

I offer workshops and trainings to…

Providers serving (or aspiring to serve) trans/nonbinary and gender-expansive clients/patients… especially youth, people of the global majority (BIPOC/POC), and folks living in multiply marginalized spaces.
Organizers and community groups that to anti-oppression work, focused on understanding trauma, adapting movement work to be better trauma-informed, centering healing in community change work processes and collectives
Individual providers and clinical groups that want to better understand and practice ways of integrating abolitionist social work praxis into their work, while maintaining adherence to the NASW Code of Ethics, all relevant laws and statutes, and any licensing and regulatory bodies which may entrust us with the care of vulnerable people and communities.

Beginning in high school, I’ve trained MSW students at the University of Michigan, Counseling students at Wayne State University and the University of Windsor, undergraduate students at Cornell University, and middle and high school students across Southeast Michigan on the topics of Sexual Orientation Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) 101, anti-oppression in trauma work, and the basics of trans experience (Trans 101) and cissexism. I have additionally provided training on abolitionist interventions in mental health crisis, and community-led approaches to trauma healing, with with such local groups as Healing By Choice and Detroit Safety Team. I have additionally facilitated hours of original workshop content at the Allied Media Conference, Philadelphia Trans Wellness / Health Conference, Creating Change, and more. In the past, I have served as a contractual facilitator with The Fireweed Collective (Formerly The Icarus Project), and I was the first ever (unpaid, volunteer) training coordinator for volunteers on the Trans Lifeline. In past paid roles, I have been charged with development and supporting teams of youth peer educators who developed and led their own community workshops. My approach to training and consultation is collaborative and based in anti-oppression theory. In particular, I have valued much of what I’ve learned from the work of The Aorta Collective related to this praxis.

Community organizations I’ve worked with directly, and/or collaborated with to varying degrees:

Rates and Logistics

Consultation and contractual (non-student) supervision services offered may be either in-person or virtually, and either one-on-one, in time-limited peer consultation groups, or in the form of a roundtable for clinical teams.

My typical rate is $50-$150/hour; however, I am committed to making support I provide to colleagues accessible. If my current sliding scale rate is not accessible for you, but you’re in need of support, please reach out anyways and give me a sense of what might work for you. We can’t do this work without support, and I’d like to offer that sustainably and accessibly to colleagues holding important work.

For workshops and one-day trainings, my standard sliding scale rate is $100-250/hour, which includes both time for the actual training/presentation, as well as any necessary meetings or preparation time. Again, accessibility is more important to me than profit! If your organization, clinic, or group needs support and cannot manage my stated sliding scale rate, please reach out and we can talk about what’s possible!

In 2025, I am committed to allocating 50% of all my contractual fees from supervision, consultation and training directly towards Inner Justice Works’ Rapid Response Fund, to financially sustain our work to support clients facing immediate danger, ongoing abuse, or unanticipated threats to survival and access to care.

We are proudly supported in this endeavor by the amazing folks at Great Lakes Water Protector Network, who are providing us short-term fiscal sponsorship as we transition to a nonprofit model.
