Education

My educational background includes a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and a Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling from South Carolina State University. I have a Doctor of Education from Drexel University and am currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education from Mercer University. I have experience working as a rehabilitation counselor in Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Georgia state government agencies; as a career counselor in higher education; and in a hospital setting, and now I serve as Clinical Director of my private practice.

Training and Experience

My doctoral training, professional experience, and continuing education have prepared me to provide clinical supervision. I have completed coursework in supervision at Mercer University and have gained supervisory experience through clinical work in Pennsylvania and in my role as a clinical director.

From these experiences, I have provided both clinical and administrative supervision. My approach is informed by models such as the Discrimination Model, Integration Model, and the Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) Model, with a focus on supporting supervisees working toward licensure through structured guidance, feedback, and skill development.

Supervision and Theoretical Model & Style

My approach to clinical supervision is primarily grounded in the Discrimination Model, with additional influence from the Integration Model and Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) Model. Together, these approaches allow for flexibility and active engagement during supervision sessions.

The Discrimination Model guides my use of multiple roles, counselor, teacher, and consultant, depending on the supervisee’s needs and the clinical situation. This supports growth in clinical skills while also addressing ethical, legal, and professional standards as needed.

The Integration Model further supports an adaptable supervisory process that tailors interventions to the supervisee’s developmental needs. In addition, I may use Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) to help supervisees reflect on specific moments in their clinical work, identify strengths, and clarify areas for growth.

Supervision Process, Structure, & Evaluation Process

Supervision is a collaborative process focused on supporting your clinical development, improving your counseling skills, and ensuring quality client care. You are expected to actively participate, arrive on time, and come prepared to each session.

During supervision, you will receive ongoing feedback and support to discuss client concerns, ethical issues, and clinical interventions. You may also be asked to present cases, including audio or video recordings, along with relevant client information for supervision purposes.

Supervision sessions will address clinical issues, including an agenda of discussion, feedback, and exploration of alternative interventions. While supervision is intended to support your growth and strengthen your professional identity, it may also involve constructive challenges to your skills and knowledge. In some cases, additional evaluative supervision may be required.

A formal supervision contract will outline roles, responsibilities, fees, scheduling, and the length of the supervisory relationship. This agreement must be signed by both parties, and fees are due upon service.

At the conclusion of supervision, I will complete all required documentation for the Georgia or South Carolina Composite Board to verify your supervised experience. If hours or expectations are not met, we will determine whether to extend the agreement.

Ongoing informal feedback will occur throughout supervision, and a formal evaluation will be completed annually as part of a scheduled supervision session.

Supervision Legal & Ethical Issues

Supervision is not a substitute for personal counseling or therapy. If personal issues arise, they may be addressed briefly in supervision; however, you will be encouraged to seek your own counseling support as needed.

Information shared in supervision, including evaluations, is kept confidential with limited exceptions: (1) risk of harm to self or others, (2) suspected abuse of a child or vulnerable person, and (3) legal requirements such as a court order. Outside of these exceptions, confidentiality will be maintained to the greatest extent possible.

Clients also have a legal right to privileged communication, meaning their counseling information cannot be disclosed without their consent. This includes any case material discussed in supervision. It is expected that you will obtain informed consent from clients to allow for case consultation during supervision, and that this consent be documented and kept on file.

Supervision practices will follow the Approved Clinical Supervisor Code of Ethics and the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists Code of Ethics.
