Mentoring

Not everyone needs formal supervision, but we all benefit from support as we grow in our careers. If you’re a professional working with children and families who’s looking for guidance, feedback, or just someone to help you navigate the complexities of your work, my mentoring services are here to help. This isn’t about oversight—it’s about personalized support to help you feel confident, grow your skills, and keep moving forward.

What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is a flexible, supportive relationship that focuses on helping you develop professionally and navigate challenges in your work. Unlike supervision, mentoring is less about formal oversight and more about offering you advice, insight, and encouragement tailored to your unique journey. Whether you want help refining your practice, talking through difficult cases, or finding new ways to grow, mentoring gives you the space to explore your professional path with confidence and clarity.

What Can Mentoring Help With? 
Mentoring is designed to offer flexible, tailored support for wherever you’re at in your professional journey. Some of the areas we can focus on include:
Refining Clinical Skills: If you’re looking to sharpen your practice or explore new approaches, I can offer feedback and insights that help you grow.
Navigating Professional Challenges: We’ll talk through any professional struggles you’re facing, whether it’s with clients, colleagues, or broader workplace dynamics, and work on solutions together.

My Values: What Guides My Mentoring
In our mentoring relationship, you can expect the same values that guide all of my work:
1. Compassion: I’m here to support you with kindness and empathy. I want you to feel seen, heard, and valued throughout your journey.
2. Reflection: Together, we’ll reflect on your experiences, decisions, and challenges to help you gain clarity and grow.

4. Integrity: Honesty and authenticity are at the heart of everything I do. I’ll help you stay true to your values and goals as you navigate your path.
5. Playfulness: Growth doesn’t have to be all serious! I believe in incorporating creativity and play into the process to make room for fresh perspectives and deeper learning.
6. Self-Accountability: I’ll encourage you to take ownership of your actions and decisions as we work together, helping you stay grounded and empowered.
