Thank you for your interest in supervision with me! To start with, let me introduce myself. I’m originally from an area of the States known as the Pacific Northwest, with a gorgeous mountain called Mt Baker and connection with the Salish Sea through the Nooksack River. When I moved to Aotearoa, I found a deep connection with Aoraki and Waianiwaniwa as my river, and Motukiekie as my place. My experience comes first as a youth worker for 18 years moving into working in moderate to severe adolescent mental health around 8 years ago.
MSW - Master’s degree in Social Work
I’ve trained in mental health and AoD through my Master’s degree in Social Work. I’ve been working for the past 5 years in Aotearoa in a variety of services including ICAMHS, Oranga Tamariki, PHO counselling at Tu Ora Compass Health and most recently as a tutor at WelTec. I’ve come into the supervisor space with experience in counselling/therapy, social work, youth work and an emphasis in working with adolescents. I’ve trained professional supervision through WelTec. For me, supervision is a time for you to reflect on what has happened, develop a great understanding into what is going on now and launch back into practice better prepared for what comes your way.
