Services
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a method of therapy that promotes feelings of connection and closeness within couples and families.
EFT creates safety and security within a relationship that is reliable and constant.
These safe and secure attachments to one another are critical to maintaining healthy relationships and improving both our mental and physical health.
In a distressed relationship, we often ask questions like "Are you there for me?" "Can I count on you?" and "If I call, will you come?"

My philosophy for supervision follows the EFT model as it incorporates person-centered, experiential, humanistic, constructivist, and systems therapy, and is fundamentally grounded in attachment theory.
By staying in the model, I seek a relationship with my supervisees' that parallels EFT clinical practice.
The research article "Supervising Emotionally Focused Therapists: A Systematic Research-Based Model" by Palmer-Olsen, Gold and Woolley (2011) guides my practice and fits my supervisory style.
