About Supervision
I seek to offer a non-judgmental environment where you can develop your skills as a practitioner.
Supervision is an opportunity to grow.
I am passionate about teaching, developing and training future therapists. If you are interested in learning more about supervision with me or setting up a free consultation, please contact me at turnleafcounseling@gmail.com.
Education/Experience
I graduated from the University of St. Thomas in 2011 with a degree in Counseling Psychology and a Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. I began working in a helping capacity in 2004 beginning with experience at an in-patient drug and alcohol treatment facility. The seeds of a systemic approach to recovery, growth, healing and repair established in me during these formative years. I have cherished teaching, presenting and consulting ever since.
My experience has varied across the helping professions. I have worked as staff, counselor, teacher, supervisor, therapist at an inpatient facility, as staff at an adult foster care, as an in-home therapist and outpatient therapist.
In Summer of 2018 I began coursework to become an approved Marriage and Family Therapy Supervisor. As an AAMFT Supervisor Candidate, I receive ongoing AAMFT supervision of supervision by Anne Ramage, PsyD, M.S., LMFT.
Current Style/Interests
My underlying nature is to deepen my knowledge and expertise as a therapist, whether through trainings or personal study. I completed a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner 3-year certificate program in 2017, and enjoy using a body-based approach with clients. Additional interests include the Polyvagal Theory, attachment, trauma (both in the sense of stress and overwhelming traumatic incidents), family of origin, differentiation, couples therapy, Self-of-the-Therapist and the Enneagram.
