SUPERVISION
My Definition of SD Supervision:
A welcoming space where spiritual directors/companions may be supported and encouraged in their practices. The supervision method I use is grounded in affirmation, self-reflection, consultation, challenge and education. Directors/supervisees will come away from sessions with renewed energy and insights
into the practice of spiritual companionship.

​
Spiritual Directors most often work in isolation.
We meet with clients/directees one-to-one or in small groups.
It is our desire to be aware that the Divine/God/Spirit is always present.
However, there are times when we need the support of a trained colleague - ideally in regular sessions. A supervisor can answer this need by offering a safe and sacred space
in which to share and receive support and guidance.
​
I am a trained Supervisor who also teaches supervision workshops
(reach out for more information).
Lucy Abbott Tucker is my mentor and teacher. I use Lucy's model methods to work with
spiritual directors. It is a user-friendly way to approach supervision!
Please see Lucy's workbook for more information:

​
I am also experienced in using various supervision methods including
the Contemplative Reflection Form, Verbatims, etc.
As a Supervisor who supports various spiritual direction programs by offering
supervision to students in formation, I will happily adapt to the requirements of each.
