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

Shame and pain are overwhelming

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


Shame and pain are overwhelming

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

Long to feel safe and connected in relationships

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
