Our Services
In-Person Consultations
I offer in-person supervision sessions in convenient locations in St. Paul and Minneapolis for professionals in the Twin Cities. The comfortable, private settings provide a quiet, focused environment for meaningful supervision discussions. These sessions allow for personal connection and immediate feedback, enhancing the learning experience.
Online Consultations
If you prefer the convenience of remote supervision, my online sessions are ideal. Using a secure and confidential video platform, we will participate in one-on-one supervision without commuting. This flexibility makes it easier for professionals to receive the support they need regardless of location. Online supervision maintains the same level of personalized attention and ethical standards as in-person sessions.
