Creating a space where power is shared, diverse identities are affirmed, and both practice and reflection are grounded in anti-oppressive principles.

Being intentional about acknowledging the power I hold and actively working to foster collaboration and shared decision-making in the supervisor and supervisee relationship.

Striving to honor my supervisees’ years of experience, lived experiences, cultural knowledge, and ways of knowing, creating room for meaningful and responsive dialogue.

Committing to engaging in critical reflection on issues of race, class, gender, landed status, and other intersecting identities, and approaching these conversations with openness rather than defensiveness.

Modeling accountability by welcoming feedback, remaining open to unlearning oppressive patterns, and continually reflecting on my role in sustaining or challenging systems of power.

Working to ensure that supervision is a brave and supportive space—one that nurtures emotional safety, professional growth, and the holistic wellbeing of everyone involved.
