Additional Things I Provide With My Supervision

  • I keep track of your reported client hours and our supervision hours with you.

  • I provide you with a 100-hour plan for your supervision journey inclusive of your stated goals for the future, clinical interests, and reported areas of growth you’d like to work on.

  • Assessments of the areas you are improving on over the length of your supervision time.

  • The ability to use me as a referral source for your future endeavors.

I had a wonderful experience with my qualified supervisor that I am forever grateful to for her dedication to my growth and her assistance in helping me metaphorically knock down the barriers other women of color experience within this field. That is just a portion of the reason why I am extremely passionate about the work that I do and will be your biggest ally in your journey.

Please note: I only select a few registered interns to supervise at a time. This helps me be able to provide the best supervision experience possible and provide you with the time, attention, and dedication that each registered intern requires.
