As an art therapy supervisor, I am guided by collaborative, empowering, and strengths-based principles. I strive to create a space where supervisees feel welcomed and supported to bring their questions, uncertainties, challenges, and vulnerabilities without fear of judgement.
Through arts-based supervision, I invite space for reflection, creativity, and self-exploration. My hope is that supervision feels both supportive and generative—a place where supervisees can grow in confidence, deepen their understanding of themselves and their practice, and feel better equipped to offer ethical, compassionate, and responsive care to clients.
