                         Supervisor Intern

"As a clinical supervisor, I understand that the paradigm of family systems thinking dictates how I interact with and support my supervisees. In order to maintain a sense of autonomic and adaptive relationship with them it is important to understand the current functioning and future directions of our relationship. Additionally, I approach my supervisory roles from humanistic and post-modernist viewpoints, which are highlighted by processes of unconditional positive regards adapted to fit fluid supervisory methods, and social justice principles informed by narrative supervision frameworks."
