Supervision for Emotionally Focused Therapy

I offer supervision for therapists who are training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. As an ICEEFT-approved supervisor-candidate, I provide supervision that will be credited toward meeting ICEEFT certification requirements.  I can provide you with step-by-step guidance in your journey to ICEEFT certification. As an EFCT supervisor, I help you hone your skills in working experientially with clients' emotion and to build up your felt sense of clients' attachment-systems-in-action. I can support you in building a deep, embodied competence with the EFCT Tango and EFCT steps-and-stages. 

I also provide consultation to EFT therapists, individually or in small groups, on working with couples who have complex PTSD or dissociative PTSD in the picture.  Working effectively with trauma is essential to helping couples achieve sufficient safety in therapy and in their interactions to engage in the transformative encounters that EFCT can offer. 

I am also an ICEEFT-certified supervisor for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy.  

Consultation for EMDR Certification

I am certified by EMDRIA (EMDR International Association) to provide consultation to licensed therapists working toward certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I provide reduced-fee consultation for therapists needing to achieve and demonstrate mastery in Basic EMDR. In addition, I provide consultation for certified therapists in applying EMDR in the treatment of various issues and disorders. I have been practicing EMDR daily since 2015 and have extensive advanced training in various EMDR protocols and integrative techniques. Please reach out to me and we can discuss your consultation needs and goals and how I may be able to help you help you clients. 

Consultation for Attachment-based Therapy with Individuals

What does it mean for a therapist to work in an attachment frame? What does it mean to work in a relational way? How can you draw on the science of adult attachment to help clients build attachment security, within and between, and decrease anxiety and depression? How do we work with attachment style in the therapy session? How can working with emotion and attachment help clients let go of old defenses and connect with themselves and others in a more effective, authentic and fulfilling way? 

I help therapists understand and work with attachment as a tacit operational script that organizes one's connection to oneself and to others. I help therapists build their effectiveness in addressing depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and problem behaviors by working relationally and experientially with clients within an attachment frame.
