Her teaching emphasizes humility, reflection, and skillful communication as the foundation for effective supervision.

This course dives into supervisory challenges like unclear expectations, supervisee resistance, competence concerns, countertransference, and theoretical mismatches. You'll also learn how to deliver feedback constructively, repair ruptures, and initiate courageous conversations that lead to meaningful growth.
