Who Am I?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor (LMFT Supervisor) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) in the state of Texas. In addition, I am LMFT in Colorado and Utah.

I graduated from Texas Woman’s University with an M.S. in Family Therapy in 2014. My work history includes interning in a juvenile detention center, working on a crisis team in community mental health, an inpatient psychiatric hospital. My past positions have given me a broad understanding of how therapy takes place in different agencies and institutions.

I own my own private practice, Overcoming Miles Counseling, PLLC. In my practice I see individuals, couples, and families via Telehealth. Within my practice I focus on the Black and Brown communities as well as the Queer communities.

About Me

Supervision Theoretical Background

My supervision theoretical background is influenced by Developmental, Feminist, and Post-Modern models of supervision. I approach supervision from an integrative lens; in order to have the most complete view possible. It is my role as a supervisor to help the associate recognize and attend to issues of power and privilege regarding ethnicity, gender, race, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, et cetera.

My role as a supervisor is to create a collaborative environment in which the associate learns from myself as I learn from them, while recognizing that as the supervisor I have inherent power within the relationship. Also, within this collaborative environment I strive to ensure the associate feels appropriately challenged, empowered, and nurtured. It is my job as a supervisor is to help the associate become a competent, self-assured, independently licensed marriage and family therapist.
