Holistic Supervision
Michelle provides holistic supervision that embodies an integrative focus. She utilizes supervision approaches such as the development and discrimination model to support her supervisees. Michelle feels that being an effective counselor aligns with an emphasis on self-awareness, reflection, and the interconnectedness of both your personal and professional selves.
Michelle adapts her supervision style to your developmental stage and will ensure you receive the right level of support and feedback. She additionally uses the discrimination model, which allows her to tap into a teacher, counselor, or consultant role based on your needs.
