EMDR Consultation
As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant (AC), I support therapists who are learning to use EMDR therapy. I assist with EMDR basic trainings and lead consultation groups for a company called EMDR Consulting. I also provide consultation privately towards EMDR certification, for Consultants-In-Training (CITs) and general EMDR consultation.
In addition to individual consultation, I offer an advanced consultation group for general EMDR consultation or for EMDRIA certification. This group meets monthly for 2 hours for 5 months. I usually run one or two of these groups in the spring (February or March through June or July) and one or two in the fall (September or October through January or February).
To learn more about the certification process and requirements, please visit the following two webpages:

Please contact me for to discuss whether we might be a good fit for consultation, for dates and times of upcoming consultation groups or for information about consultation for CITs.
My EMDR Experience
I’ve been an EMDR practitioner since 2018 and an AC since 2022, and EMDR is a significant part of my clinical work. I’ve used EMDR to help clients address a wide range of issues, including trauma, complex trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, stress management and life transitions. I place a strong emphasis on resource development, and I take an integrative approach to both preparation and processing, incorporating somatic techniques, parts work, mindfulness, yoga, psychodynamic and relational therapy and creative arts, depending on each client’s needs. I also have experience using EMDR to support decision making and to resolve avoidance, and I have a particular interest in working with preverbal, in utero and transgenerational trauma.
My clinical experience has all been with adult clients (ages 18+) in individual therapy. As a former elementary school teacher, I can offer some ideas for working with children. However, I recommend that consultees working with children, couples and/or families also obtain consultation with someone who has direct experience of using EMDR therapy with those groups. If you are working with a clinical population with which I don’t have expertise, I may similarly be able to offer some suggestions but will, again, encourage you to seek additional consultation.
