Do you know of a site that is accepting MFT interns?
Do you, a colleague, or a recent graduate need MFT
interns to supervise?
Do you know of anyone working towards AAMFT-
Approved or State-Approved Supervisor status?
We are always looking to add sites and supervisors to
our database for students to search through. Please let
us know if you, or anyone you know, are interested in
working with our NCU students!

we possess, should be a critical part of one's professional
education and ongoing development. I have attempted to
be a humble learner of other identities without assigning
a hierarchy to such identities. I attempt to convey this
process to students and supervisees by teaching a
concept I learned from family therapist Joan Larid, called
"informed not knowing." I sense the field of family
therapy has made a significant effort to promote these
core values of diversity, inclusion, and equity as our
society faces increasingly challenging times.
Describe your supervision style in three words.
The three words that best describe my supervision would
be: personal, collaborative, and integrative. Supervision
has become the most "fun" part of my work.
What do you enjoy most about supervising?
New professionals in school or just coming out of
graduate school bring fresh ideas, incredible motivation,
and keep me on my toes.
What keeps you grounded?
I attempt to stay busy with watching and playing sports
(pretty limited because of COVID), enjoying family time
with my wife, adult children, and grandchildren, and
travel (future travel for now). I continually ponder ways to
slow down in my career … but the NCU interns keep
knocking on my door!
