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 EMDR Consulting, and I provide consultation privately towards EMDR certification, for Consultants-In-Training (CITs) and general EMDR consultation.
My EMDR consultation takes place virtually via Zoom, and my rate for individual consultation is $175 per hour. For those who have completed basic training, I also offer a consultation group, either for general EMDR consultation or for EMDRIA certification. This group meets monthly for 2 hours for 5 months, and the cost for the entire 10 hours is $550, paid in advance. 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:

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.

Frequency of Consultation
Frequency of consultation will depend on your needs and both of our availability. You might choose to have just one or two or a handful of consultations on a particular topic, or it might become more of an ongoing consultation relationship. I’ve had consultees who have wanted to meet on a regular basis (i.e., once or twice per month) and others who have only wanted to meet now and then when they have issues to discuss.
Current Fees
My current fee for consultation is $175 per hour. I have also at times done 1/2 hour consultations when appropriate.
Cancellation Policy
You must provide 48 hours’ notice of a cancellation to avoid being charged.
Payment Methods
For consultation, I accept checks, credit cards, debit cards, Venmo and Paypal.
Consultation vs. Supervision
I do not currently offer supervision for LSWs or pre-licensed counselors, and my clinical consultation cannot be counted towards a clinical licensure supervision requirement. As a consultant, I do not hold liability for how you practice.
