Supervision
Supervision and mentorship changed my life. I am where I am because supervisors believed in me, challenged me, and saw my humanity. As an Afroindigenous immigrant, I also know how rare it is to find a supervisor who understands your story, honors your community, and supports you from a culturally grounded lens, not just a clinical one.
My commitment is simple:
You deserve supervision where you can grow, be challenged, be held accountable, and be embraced for who you are.
I bring my background in education, liberation psychology, immigration advocacy, men’s issues, trauma work, and culturally responsive mental health to support you as you move toward licensure or deepen your work beyond it. Whether you’re navigating identity, culture, oppression, imposter syndrome, clinical complexity, or community-based work, you don’t have to walk that path alone.
I welcome supervisees of all identities, intersections, and lived experiences.
WHO THIS SUPERVISION SUPPORTS
This supervision is especially supportive for:
Pre-licensed clinicians working toward licensure hours.
Therapists serving immigrant, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and bicultural communities.
Clinicians navigating trauma, identity exploration, or systemic oppression in their cases.
Professionals seeking mentorship rooted in liberation psychology and cultural responsiveness.
Therapists practicing in Spanish or working with multilingual families.
Clinicians wanting to strengthen confidence, clarity, and clinical voice.
