I want to make you into the best YOU that you can be, not a carbon copy of me. Sometimes I am here for accountability, sometimes for learning, and sometimes to give the emotional permission you need to follow the path you already have identified. My supervision approach is grounded in feminist theory and uses a collaborative and somewhat eclectic, developmental lens in practice. I do professionalism differently (...I curse, wear pjs to work meetings, be queer and chronically ill visibly in the space). I wear many hats and show up authentically to work spaces because I believe that transparency and authentic relationships foster safety and growth in a space. 

I expect supervisees to show up to our meetings with similar intent. I think we both have something to bring to the table in our meetings and that we both should leave feeling good about the next steps. I don’t expect you to always have every talking point, or know all your needs exactly, but I do expect authentic and honest participation in each supervision meeting. It’s NOT your job to be always happy, perfect, get the answer right every time, never fuck up, never have a need. It IS your job to be honest with me about anything going on that might impact your work. I can’t support what I don’t know or can’t see. It's not anyone’s job to have all the answers, and I don’t, but I am willing to work on a shared goal of finding them.
