My approach to supervision is grounded in creating a warm, non-judgmental space where emerging counselors feel supported, respected, and encouraged to grow. I draw from the Discrimination Model, which allows me to shift between the roles of counselor, teacher, and consultant depending on the supervisee’s needs in the moment. This flexibility helps us explore clinical skills, case conceptualization, and the personal factors that may influence a supervisee’s work. I believe that leaning into the “counselor” role—without crossing into therapy—can help supervisees gain insight into their challenges and develop greater self-awareness, which ultimately strengthens their clinical presence.

At the heart of my supervision style is a humanistic, relationship-centered orientation. I strive to build a strong supervisory relationship based on empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard, because I believe this connection is essential for meaningful professional development. When supervisees feel safe and supported, they are more willing to explore difficult topics, reflect on their growth edges, and build confidence in their identities as counselors. My hope is to foster a space where supervisees can grow with authenticity and courage—ultimately benefiting both their personal development and the clients they serve.
