Ethics and Clarity

Navigating complex ethics with clarity, integrity, and heart.

Based on my 5 Pillars for Navigating the Social Work Ethics Maze (C) model, I assist social workers and other helping professionals in navigating ethical challenges with confidence and compassion. Together, we develop personalized strategies and best practices tailored to your unique situation; helping you act with integrity, reduce anxiety, and confidently handle the complexities of ethical decision-making.

When Ethics and Law Intersect

Social work ethics consultations create space to pause, reflect, and respond thoughtfully; especially when situations carry legal, professional, or reputational risk. When subpoenas, court involvement, licensing board inquiries, or NASW complaints arise, ethics support and legal guidance must move side by side, each within its proper role.

Ethics consultation supports you in:

Recognizing ethical risks and professional protections
Clarifying your role and responsibilities
Ensuring documentation reflects ethical standards
Preparing ethically for court or board-related processes

Legal counsel provides legal advice and representation.

Ethics consultation strengthens your ethical foundation, helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

Referrals to appropriate attorneys are made when the case has legal components that need addressing; we discuss this together.
