About Supervision

Congratulations on making it this far into the counseling world! Clinical Supervision is a long road, and I am excited to support you in your journey. My education, special training, experiences in both life and the counseling profession, private practice ownership, and prior management roles have enhanced my ability to implement a genuine, strategic, and solution-focused supervisory experience. This is an opportunity for you to learn, explore, and challenge yourself. I follow all of the requirements for supervision as set forth by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors.
