I am an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant (EMDR International Association) and am currently offering consultation to EMDR therapists that have completed their Phase 1 and 2 Trainings and are either working on their 10 hours for basic training or have decided to further their practice and are working toward certification. 

 

More Than Just Hours — A Unique Path to Confidence and Clinical Growth

Whether you're fresh out of your EMDR basic training or pursuing EMDRIA Certification, the consultation process is more than checking off hours. It's about integrating EMDR into your authentic therapy style with confidence, creativity, and competence.

In an oversaturated field, many consultants simply staff cases and guide you through the protocol. My approach is different. I help you build lasting clinical confidence and a deeper understanding of your role in the EMDR therapy process.

 

What Sets My Consultation Apart

• Original Eight-Phase Protocol, Elevated
  Go beyond the basics. Learn how to integrate advanced techniques while staying grounded in the protocol.

• Existential & CPT-Informed Target Selection
  Pulling NCs and PCs from Existential Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy adds powerful depth to case formulation.

• Mindful, Body-Based Work
  Zen Buddhism training and parasympathetic nervous system activation techniques to support client and clinician regulation.

• Dual Attunement: Relational & Neurobiological
  Harness the power of presence and relationship as the crucible for transformation in EMDR therapy.

• Grief & Hospice Expertise
  10 years of hospice and grief experience enrich your approach to clients processing death, loss, and meaning.

• Men's Issues & Gender Insight
  Unique perspective on common concerns your male clients may bring into the room.

• Substance Use & Recovery Integration
  With 26 years in the recovery community, I understand how to apply EMDR in the context of addiction and healing.

• Certified Brainspotting Practitioner
  Expand your lens beyond EMDR with an understanding of how Brainspotting may inform or complement your work.

This is Not Just About EMDR — It’s About You as a Therapist

Consultation with me isn’t just about completing 10 or 20 hours. It’s about:

• Developing confidence in your EMDR work

• Integrating the protocol into your existing clinical identity

• Cultivating authenticity, spontaneity, and presence in session

 

Let’s move beyond checkboxes. Let’s build the EMDR therapist you want to be.
