Therapist Supervision & Mentorship
I value and honor the whole person you bring to supervision, including your gender identity, race, culture, religion, sexual orientation, attachment style, therapeutic practice, and the broader contexts that shape you. Your experiences and identities influence how you show up as a therapist, and I aim to create a space where all of you is seen, respected, and supported!
Attuning to You & Spending Time Together
I believe supervision works best when you feel deeply seen, understood, and supported. As an Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy Supervisor Candidate, I attune to you, your nervous system, clinical instincts, doubts, and your strengths, so we can slow down together and make sense of what is happening in your session. Time in supervision is not about performing or getting it right. It is about creating a safe and collaborative space where curiosity replaces self-criticism and growth unfolds naturally. Through consistent connection and thoughtful reflection, supervision becomes a place to build confidence, expand your emotional presence, and feel steadier in your work as an EFCT therapist.
Conceptualizing & Understanding the EFT Model
In supervision, we can focus on deeply understanding the Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy model in a way that feels practical and alive, drawing on my years of Core Skills training assistantship and ICEEFT trainings and resources. We explore patterns in relationships, cycles of emotion, and how attachment shapes clients’ behavior and experiences. My goal is to help you see the model not just as a theory, but as a living map that can guide your interventions, deepen your empathy, and increase your confidence in helping clients create limbic revision and lasting change.
Experiencing & Practicing EFCT Skills
We can co-create a space where you can actively practice and experience Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy skills in real time. We use role play and other experiential exercises to explore moments you encounter in your sessions, helping you build confidence in interventions. This hands-on approach allows you to try out responses, notice your own emotional experience in real time, and strengthen your ability to stay emotionally and cognitively present with clients. By practicing in a supportive environment, you deepen your understanding of EFCT principles and bring more clarity, attunement, and focus into your work.
Exploring Self of the Therapist
All of us as therapists experience our own humanity in the presence of those we serve. We are human! In supervision, a safe space is created to reflect on your personal emotional responses, patterns, and triggers that may come up in session. By exploring your vulnerabilities and strengths, we can coregulate to help you stay grounded, respond to your own clinical experience with empathy, and bring a deeper sense of presence and authenticity to your work. Understanding yourself allows you to show up fully, build stronger connections with clients and yourself, and support meaningful change for the couples you serve.
