I offer Individualized, goal driven, quality supervision for school-based staff working towards being board certified and mentorship to new supervisors. Supervision is remote for both individual and group sessions with a small cohort of other selected school-based individuals.
I am an Authorized Continuation Education (ACE) provider and I offer trainings regularly. Current trainings emphasize our ethical responsibly to be inclusive and responsive to our students and community that are neurodivergent.
