Oh heyyy!
Looking for a supervisor that's just as human as you are?
I'm Morgan.
Let me tell you a bit about me and my style. Then after that?
I hold many identities at once; here are just a few to know.
As a human...
I am a bisexual, biracial (Latina + white), cisgender woman in her 30s. I'm happily married to a wonderful nonbinary human and am a bonus mama to two beautiful girls. I'm an eldest daughter and a child of divorce (well, a teenager of divorce, I guess; my parents split up when I was in high school). I have very different relationships with each of my stepparents and met them each at very different stages of my own life. Now, as I myself am a stepparent raising tiny humans from infancy, I have lived the 'blended family' life from every angle. While I'm sure you will see plenty more of my humanity in our future work together, one other really important detail to know up front is that it is rare for me to get through consecutive sentences without at least one swear word (especially while I'm watching the Green Bay Packers; GO PACK GO!!). My most used swear word is fuck; it's just so versatile! But, like a good midwestern gal, I also love the non-expletive swear words like 'jeepers criminy' too.

As a therapist...
I ​work with adults (individuals as well as relationships)** who exist in what I call 'the Messy Middle' -- basically, the folks that don't fit into the checkboxes on a standardized form. The ones who are more complicated than society may want them to be. Whether that refers to gender, sexuality, non-monogamy, race and ethnicity, or something else completely... I love the nuance of the experiences they bring and the clinical experiences we share. I am unapologetically queer-friendly, kink-friendly, and polyamory-friendly; if you want to work with me in any capacity, you should be too. If you want to know more about my values in life and in therapy (are you starting to see the overlap here?), check out the Home Page and see how we align!
​​
As far as my clinical approach to therapy work...it varies. I believe that humans are far too complex for a one-size-fits-all methodology to be effective. That being said, all of the work that I do** is grounded in a systems framework, incorporating the big picture of life and society as we conceptualize problems, relationships, and experiences. I pull from many different therapy modalities (e.g. strategic therapy, solution-focused, teenyyyyyyy bits of internal family systems, etc.), but narrative therapy tends to be the most prominent within my sessions. Beyond any single intervention or method, though, I love getting creative with what I learned in grad school and working collaboratively with my clients to figure out the approach that works best for each brain in front of me. You can bet your ass that my supervision approach will be tailored to you and your needs just the same.
**If you really want a deep dive on who my clients tend to be, and/or how I work with and talk to my clients, visit my About the Client and About the Therapist pages. My therapist page also has all the deets on my education, licensure, and additional therapy trainings I've completed, if that information is important to you.​​​

As a supervisor...
Maybe you're noticing the common thread across these sections; maybe you're not. Either way, I'm going to make it painfully explicit because that's what I do. Are you ready for it? Here goes:​​​​​​​​​​​​
Call me a sweet potato because
...
I yam who I yam!!
[*crickets*]
[*intensified blinking*]
...I did say it would be painful...
Ahem, moving swiftly right along!
​​
Even when I am in a professional role, my humanity and my eyebrows -- I mean, my personality -- don't really have an off switch. How I talk to my friends and family is how I talk to my clients is how I will talk to you as my supervisee. And man, oh man, do I want to help you learn to do the same.
​
My number one passion as a supervisor is in mentoring folks to integrate themselves and their personalities into their therapeutic work. I like to think that I am pretty damn skilled at seeing through people's masks and their bullshit. I'm direct enough to call you on it, too. I want you to feel confident in being a human and a therapist at the same damn time because this job is hard already. And I can tell you with absolute certainty that it's at least ten times harder when you're wasting your energy on playing the character of a therapist.
​
You have worked hard as fuck to become who you are and to do what you do. Lean into that. Use it. Grad school taught you the theories and the interventions and all the shit that worked for the old white dudes. I want to show you how to make those work for you and for your clients. In other words, I'm here to teach you the nuance that they don't. I have always lived a life full of asterisks and complexities, always compelled to give bonus explanations; one of the things I do best is to expect that same complexity with others. I cannot wait to hold space for you to explore yourself and your clients; together we will play, learn, and grow. All you need to do is reach out and show up.
​
One more thing you should know about me up front (the rest you'll discover in our conversations and work together) is that I have experience working in group practice settings, private practice, AND the business/administrative side of group practice. I am beyond confident that not only can I meet you and your business where you are at in this moment, but also that I can help you get to wherever your dreams want to grow. [No, that's not a typo. I specifically mean to say that you will grow into your dream role(s). I got you.]
