Clinical Supervision for LCSWAs in North Carolina
Supportive, thoughtful supervision for clinicians developing confidence, clinical depth, and their own therapeutic voice.
Supervision should be more than checking boxes toward licensure.
I offer clinical supervision for LCSWAs throughout North Carolina who want a space to think deeply about their work, strengthen clinical judgment, and grow into therapists who feel confident in both what they do and why they do it.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct—with room for curiosity, challenge, humor, and the very human experience of becoming a therapist.
What Supervision With Me Looks Like
Supervision with me is collaborative, relational, and grounded in real-world clinical practice. We'll move beyond simply asking “What should I do with this client?” and develop a deeper understanding of what is happening in the room, why it may be happening, and how you want to respond as a clinician.
Together, we may work on:
Case conceptualization and clinical decision-making
Challenging client dynamics and therapeutic stuck points
Countertransference and use of self
Treatment planning and documentation
Ethical questions and professional boundaries
Burnout prevention and sustainable practice
Developing your therapeutic identity and areas of specialization
The goal is not for you to become a therapist who practices exactly like I do. It's to help you become more confident in the therapist you are becoming.
Areas of Expertise
My clinical background allows me to offer additional depth to supervisees interested in:
✔ Sex therapy & Sexual Wellness
Sexual desire and desire differences, sexual pain, arousal and orgasm concerns, erectile and ejaculation concerns, performance anxiety, sexual shame, and communication around sex.
✔ Couples & Relationship therapy
Relationship patterns, attachment, conflict cycles, emotional and sexual intimacy, infidelity, and working with desire differences within relationships.
✔ Trauma-informed practice
Relational trauma, attachment trauma, somatic awareness, internal parts, EMDR background
✔ Trauma & EMDR
Trauma-informed conceptualization, relational and sexual trauma, attachment wounds, and integrating an EMDR-informed lens into case conceptualization.
✔Anxiety, Self-Worth & Relational Patterns
Anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, boundaries, self-worth, attachment, and recurring interpersonal patterns.
You don't need to specialize in sex therapy or relationship work to supervise with me.
About Me as a Supervisor
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, EMDR trained therapist, and hold a PhD in Clinical Sexology. My clinical work focuses particularly on sexuality, sexual desire, intimacy, relationship dynamics, anxiety, and the ways past experiences can shape how we connect with ourselves and others.
Before opening Desire & Bloom Therapy, I served as a Clinical Director in a group practice, where I trained and supervised clinicians, supported clinical decision-making and documentation, and led consultation groups. I bring that combination of clinical leadership and active private-practice experience into supervision.
My doctoral work focused on sexual desire differences in relationships and led to the development of Desire Dialogues, a psychoeducational workbook for relationships navigating differences in desire. That work further informs the way I conceptualize sexuality, relationships, attachment, and intimacy in both clinical practice and supervision.
Most importantly, I want supervision to be a place where you can be honest. You should be able to bring the case you don't know what to do with, the interaction you keep replaying, the mistake you're worried you made, or the part of yourself that showed up unexpectedly in the room—without feeling judged or micromanaged.
Who I Work Best With
I tend to be a good fit for clinicians who value a supervisor who is:
Warm, relational, and nonjudgmental
Direct without being rigid
Interested in depth, not just checking boxes
Comfortable talking openly about sexuality and relationships
Curious about attachment, patterns, and the therapeutic relationship
Willing to explore countertransference and use of self
Invested in developing their own clinical voice
