EFT Couples
Supervisor-in-Training
I bring a focused specialization in:
- Attachment-based couples therapy (EFT)
- Integrating sex therapy and EFT in a clinically coherent way
- Working with high-conflict, high-intensity, and sexually complex cases
Why Work
With Me
My work is both structured and experiential—because effective couples therapy requires more than understanding the model. It requires the ability to track emotion, hold the cycle, and work directly with intimacy and sexuality without hesitation.
As we deepen your awareness and skill, you become:
- More confident leading couples sessions
- More precise in your interventions
- More grounded when sessions become emotionally or sexually complex
What Supervision With Me
Looks Like
1. Case Focus + Cycle Tracking
We identify:
- The negative interaction cycle
- Each partner’s attachment position
- How sexual concerns are embedded within the cycle
2. EFT + Sex Therapy Conceptualization
We map your work to:
- Stage 1 vs. Stage 2 clarity
- Emotional processing and attachment needs
- The function of sexual patterns (avoidance, pursuit, regulation, protection)
3. Intervention + Experiential Work
We focus on:
- Deepening emotion and structuring enactments
- Introducing sexual concerns in a way that maintains safety and connection
- Clear, usable language for difficult moments
4. Therapist Use of Self
We examine:
- Where you may feel hesitant, avoidant, or over-directive
- Personal and cultural influences on your comfort with sex and emotion
- Expanding your capacity to stay present in intensity
5. Integration + Clinical Direction
You leave with:
- Clear next steps for your cases
- Stronger alignment with the EFT model
- Increased confidence addressing both attachment and sexuality
The
Experience
This is not passive supervision.
You will be invited to:
- Slow down and track process
- Stay with emotion and sexual material without avoidance
- Take clinical risks in a supported environment
- Develop a deeper level of therapeutic presence
My role is to support you in becoming a therapist who can hold complexity, guide emotional experience, and work with both attachment and sexuality in an integrated, effective way.
Structure
- Individual and group supervision (EFT Supervisor-in-Training)
- Virtual sessions
- Limited availability to maintain depth and quality
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EFT supervision and why do I need it?
EFT supervision is a structured process where you work with a certified supervisor to deepen your clinical skills, refine your EFT interventions, and accumulate the hours required for ICEEFT certification. If you've completed your externship, have been working with couples, and are ready to move toward certification, then supervision is your next step.
How many supervision hours do I need for EFT certification?
ICEEFT requires a minimum of 8 hours of EFT-specific supervision to become a Certified EFT Therapist. Those hours must be with an approved EFT supervisor or supervisor-in-training. We can map out a plan together based on where you are in the process.
Do you offer individual and group supervision?
I offer both. Individual supervision is $230 per 60 minute session and gives you dedicated time to go deep on your cases and your growth as an EFT therapist. Group supervision is $100 per 90 minute session and offers the added benefit of learning from your peers while still getting direct clinical feedback.
How do I know which format is right for me?
That depends on where you are and what you need. If you want focused attention on a specific case or want to move through hours more efficiently, individual supervision is a great fit. If you thrive in community, learn well from others, and want a more affordable option, group supervision is powerful. Many therapists do both.
Is supervision offered online or in person?
Supervision is offered via telehealth so you can access it from anywhere.
What can I expect from our supervision sessions?
You can expect direct, warm, and honest feedback. We will look at your cases through an EFT lens, identify where you are getting stuck, strengthen your ability to track cycles, and build your confidence in the room with couples. This is a space where you can be real about where you are in your learning without judgment.
How do I prepare for supervision?
Come with a case you are actively working on. Video recordings of sessions are ideal and strongly encouraged. They give us the most to work with. If you don't have a recording, a detailed case presentation works too. The more you bring, the more you get out of it.
How often should I meet for supervision?
Most supervisees meet twice a month. Consistency matters . The more regularly we meet, the faster your skills develop and the more efficiently you move through your hours.
What if I am newer to working with couples and feel nervous about supervision?
That is exactly why you are here. Supervision is not about being perfect. It is about growing. If you are earlier in your EFT journey and feeling uncertain, that is welcome in this space. We start where you are.
