About your Supervisor: Susan is a licensed clinical psychologist and a psychoanalyst. After completing her analytic training, she participated in an ongoing study group with Allan Schore Ph.D. where she learned in depth more about our brains, affect regulation and attachment. Susan was drawn to EFT because of its emphasis on attachment and the dynamics of intimate relationships. Susan is grateful to be part of the community of people worldwide who help me to keep growing and learning about the amazing world of humans, individually and in partnerships.
Susan says “Through my patients, am given the privilege of sitting with people to explore what these experiences mean. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals and couples who are curious and interested in deepening their lives and connections. As a perpetual student, I have continued my training and studies. I look forward to talking about the incredible and complex dynamic involved in couples work and the interplay of the couples internal experience as well as how it affects us as therapists internally and in the actual consulting room.”
In addition to being an analyst, Susan is an EFT certified therapist and supervisor, and also completed training in discernment counseling with Willian Doherty.
