Clinical supervision is a cornerstone of counselor education and a critical part of my professional practice. I have invested a tremendous amount of time and resources in the development of my supervisory skills by taking part in my own individual supervision with Dr. Jim Eaton and participating in a monthly supervision group with a variety of licensed clinicians. In addition, I have obtained both the Supervisory License and Approved Clinical Supervisor Certification from the Board of Behavioral Sciences.
My personal approach to supervision draws from Solution-focused Supervision (de Shazar) and Cognitive-Behavioral Supervision (Beck & Ellis). I view my supervision role as one of teacher and consultant that emphasizes hands-on learning. I encourage supervisees to remain mindful of how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can impact their clinical work. I also like to examine specific interventions from a theoretical and developmental framework.
I recently supervised a clinician who presented me with a complex series of countertransferential challenges. I had immediate reservations about supervising Lilly (pseudonym). First, it was apparent...
She asked me specific information about my church and my religious views, and noted that her church owned a home for unwed teenage mothers. We addressed my concerns at the initial meeting, and she assured me that she was able to separate her religious views from her clinical work. I clearly communicated that, while I am a Christian, I am not a Christian counselor. While she seemed to appreciate the distinction, it took her several months for her to fully comprehend it.
Lilly's values and beliefs immediately surfaced in her clinical work, posing possible barriers to the development of positive client-therapist rapport. For example, she gave one client a book about God's "disapproval of divorce," told another client she should remain responsible to her marriage despite her husband's affair, and told a gay client that God could "heal him from his brokenness." While these situations were upsetting and often disorientating, I encouraged her clients to communicate their feelings and concerns around her actions (clarification -you're in the sessions?). I informed her that she needed to monitor her countertransference and not impose religious values on clients in…
Goals Statement couldn't believe my eyes. After all the wrapping paper lie strewn on the floor, I held in my hands the best present I had ever received. It wasn't a Game Boy or a new CD: it was a book called "Chemistry for Kids," and it came with a small lab set. I wasted no time, and immediately set out to perform my first experiments. I felt high as

Work/Other Experience I think that my work experience is the greatest asset that I bring to Walden. I came to the U.S. from Trinidad and Tobago, which gives me a unique perspective on an important population that many hospitals serve, which are patients with immigrant backgrounds. I went through a lot to succeed in America. In the past, I worked as a Nurses Aid with disabled individuals. The rest of my
Most recently I accepted a contract position with an online college as a Subject Matter Expert for the design of a new Linux Administration course intended for the online environment. Being a teacher has, although not strictly part of my academic resume, proved to be an education in and of itself, as I am always learning from my students. Teaching students at different junctures of their academic careers will
