Thanks so much for stopping by!

I’m Jalpa, and I’ve always had a huge heart for schools. There’s just something magical about the energy, the people, and the purpose. Supporting others through supervision lights me up—it’s one of my favorite parts of this work. I truly believe every practitioner deserves a brave, caring space to talk openly about the ups, downs, and everything in between that comes with working in schools.

I’ve been in the Social Work field for about 20 years, with most of my experience rooted in school-based mental health across public, private, and charter settings.

For the past several years, I’ve had the joy of providing clinical supervision to school-based practitioners—through individual supervision, group supervision, and PPS credentialing support. My style is creative, reflective, and grounded in cultural curiosity. I’m inspired by the decolonizing therapy model and hold close the belief that we’re all visitors on native land. My approach always centers you—the practitioner—and lifts up your strengths.

Outside of supervision, I’m a lifelong learner (and a big-time reader!). I have the privilege of teaching at CSU Long Beach as an Adjunct Faculty member in the Social Work Department, where my class focuses on creating intentional space for reflection. I get so much joy from leading discussions on cultural curiosity -it’s a powerful pathway to collective belonging!
