Your (Virtual) Partner in Professional Growth
Philosophy of Supervision
As a virtual LPC-Supervisor in Texas, I believe that supervision is akin to healing. Both require empathy, trust, and vulnerability. I aspire to model such attributes in supervision so to strengthen alliance with the Associates that I serve.
About Me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (#72588 Texas) offering personalized and comprehensive supervision services to Licensed Professional Counselor-Associates in Texas. With a focus on ethical practice, professional development, and community care, I seek to create a supportive, collaborative, and growth-oriented environment for Associates to enhance their counseling skills and knowledge.
Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation.
Healing is an act of communion. - Bell Hooks
Supervision Services
Individual Supervision
My individual supervision sessions are designed to address Associates' specific professional development needs and help them navigate the challenges of clinical practice. Through collaborative and reflective discussions, I aim to empower Associates to grow as competent and ethical Professional Counselors.
Virtual Format
Currently, I exclusively offer virtual supervision, as I believe this format respects the professional responsibilities and personal priorities of Associates, as well as offers greater flexibility when unexpected life events inevitabley occur.
Cost and Payment
My fee for individual, weekly supervision is $300 per month. This rate reflects my advanced education and training as a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, as well as my extensive clinical experience of 10+ years in community work.
Payments are due the first of every month via my website.
My Supervisory Approach
Professional Growth
Professional growth and competence are at the core of my supervisory practice. I prioritize creating a supportive and reflective space where Associates can explore their strengths, areas of development, and overall professional identity.
Ethical Guidance
Ethical guidance is foundational to my supervisory approach. I provide a framework for ethical decision-making and support Associates in upholding ethical standards while navigating the complexities of client care and professional practice.
Community Care
Rooted in my decade long work as a community counselor, I incorporate the belief that healing and learning are individual and communal experiences. I encourage Associates to recognize the different communities their clients belong to and consider the role these communities may play on the clients' values, support systems, and overall wellness.
