Reflections
I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach clinicians and clinical supervisors over the past 18 years as a trainer and consultant in an evidence-based practice for the treatment of substance use disorders. Most of my teaching has been in-person, but since 2020 I have engaged in virtual synchronous teaching.
During my doctoral program, I co-taught master's level courses in group counseling and clinical practicum. I truly enjoyed working alongside the professors and counselors-in-training. I have also lectured on program evaluation and cross-sector collaboration in social work and education classes.
Some challenges that I have experienced in teaching through my teaching and supervision internships included engaging quieter students in the class and ensuring that class participation is balanced. My faculty mentors helped me in these areas by offering engagement strategies, and I am thankful for the opportunity to develop these skill areas.
My faith is Christ centers my approach in teaching as Jesus was the ultimate storyteller and teacher. I reflect upon his approach and compassion for others, and this provides a guiding compass in my work with students.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey of learning and growth in research. I was fortunate to have a clinical psychologist and researcher who mentored me in academic writing prior to my entry in the doctoral program. We collaborated on two manuscripts about cross-sector community collaboration in 2020 and 2021.
Throughout the course of my doctoral journey, I have focused on expanding my skills in research and scholarly writing. Living locally in Central Virginia, I have been able to collaborate with professors in the School of Behavioral Sciences on several program evaluations and research projects resulting in publications and national/international conference presentations.
I am honored to represent my agency, school, and community as I write about evidence-based practice, cross-sector collaboration, and treatment courts. I hope to be able to lift the voices of our marginalized and vulnerable community members through research that can be applied in real-world community settings. Areas of growth for me include using multivariate statistics in my research and publications. To address this challenge, I can partner with colleagues who have expertise in this area to grow my skills. My faith in Christ supports my approach to research as I have an attitude that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

While I have been a clinical supervisor since 1999, I realized that this was an area of growth and development for me fostered through the supervision class and later my supervision internship. I enjoy working with supervisees from a variety of backgrounds and experience levels. I try to tailor my approach to match the unique needs of each person that I work with. I enjoy supervising peer recovery specialists and case managers as well as counselors and social workers. One challenge that I experience is that community behavioral health tends to be very fast paced and it is important to have the time necessary to offer each supervisee. One way to address this challenge is through group supervision and drop-in times during the week.
As a supervisor, my greatest joy is to see the clinicians and staff I work with flourish and meet their professional goals. I enjoy being a mentor and try to model professionalism for the teams I supervise. I believe it is important to set an open and welcoming supervisory environment. I want supervision to be a positive experience, promoting growth and exploration for the supervisor and supervisee. My faith in Christ grounds my supervisory approach as I want to connect with my supervisees in a way that is kind and loving much like the way in which God provides his love and grace to us.

Reflections
Leadership and Advocacy is likely my favorite and most rewarding of the CES competency areas. I have been a leader and community advocate since the 1990s. While I have longevity in this area, I do not consider myself an "expert" as a leader or advocate. I often lead by listening and observing others. I like to lead through building relationships and gaining consensus. As a leader, I like to see others shine and want to highlight the good that other colleagues and stakeholders provide.
I have a service-oriented mindset when it comes to advocacy. In community behavioral health, we are often advocating for those who may be marginalized or vulnerable. When I was a counselor providing direct service, advocacy was often on an individual level. As an administrator and community leader, my advocacy efforts are on a community or macro-level. For this reason, I often partner with colleagues in public health and public administration. My current advocacy efforts involve bringing treatment courts into our community, integrating school-based behavioral health services, and increasing access to care for our rural populations. While my experience is a strength, I have opportunities for growth including leadership in higher education. One way to grow in this area is to identify a leader in higher education that may serve as a mentor. My faith in Christ strengthens my approach as I feel called to lead community efforts to improve the health of our community members most in need.

Reflections
I started as a new counselor in the mid-1990s in rural North Carolina. I remember distinctly my first caseload of almost 200 adults with serious mental illness. At that time evidence-based practice was not a common term; however, today counselors at my agency are trained in multiple evidence-based practices. Fortunately, access to training and consultation is more prevalent today with in-person and virtual training opportunities. I have been trained in at least six of these practices and I am a trainer and consultant in an evidence-based practice for individuals with a substance use disorder.
While I am mostly in administration currently, I value the opportunity to sharpen my clinical skills through case consultation and supervision. I also enjoy training and reviewing clinical work samples. I believe that evidence-based practices should become the norm for counselors in both public and private agencies. While a strength area is my training in evidence-based practices, a growth area is models using emotion focused therapy (EFT) as I tend to use a cognitive-behavioral approach. One strategy to address this area is taking a course in EFT and talking with counselors who use this approach. My faith in Christ supports my pursuit of knowledge to expand my clinical skills as I recognize that there are many paths and opportunities for growth.
