Have you completed your EMDR basic training and heard how powerful and effective it can be for trauma treatment… But once you start using it in session, things feel different?

You might notice:

01

Feeling like an imposter while reading the script, unsure if you're “doing it right”

02

Losing connection with your client while trying to follow the protocol

03

Clients not responding to Safe/Calm Place as expected

04

Feeling overwhelmed by your client’s complex trauma history and current symptoms

05

Not knowing which target memory to process first

06

Worrying whether your client can stay within their window of tolerance

07

Feeling anxious when clients report increased disturbance or nightmares

08

Questioning whether to return to talk therapy—or stop using EMDR altogether

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too.

This is exactly why EMDR consultation is so important. With the right support, you can move through self-doubt, reduce anxiety, and grow into a confident EMDR therapist—someone your clients can trust with their most difficult stories.

What We’ll Focus on in Consultation

In our consultation sessions, we will work together to:

Strengthen case conceptualization using the EMDR 3-prong, 8-phase model

Clarify treatment planning and how to choose targets effectively

Build strong resourcing skills to help clients feel safe and prepared

Identify common EMDR pitfalls and how to move through stuck points

Learn when and how to use cognitive interweaves

Understand when to modify protocols for complex or dysregulated clients

My Approach

I have completed EMDR basic training, consultation, and advanced trainings, and I continue to receive ongoing consultation to deepen my practice.

I integrate:

  • DBT, CBT, Polyvagal-informed care, and somatic approaches

  • Parts work (IFS/Ego State) in preparation phases

  • Socratic questioning, inner child work, and parts work in Phases 4–5

This integrative approach is especially helpful for complex trauma clients who need additional stabilization and support.

Areas of Specialty

I have experience using EMDR with teens, women trauma survivors, and veterans, helping them regain confidence and stability in their lives.

I also offer culturally sensitive care and faith-integrated EMDR for clients who desire Christian integration.

Childhood adversity
Sexual trauma
Betrayal trauma
Narcissistic abuse
Combat trauma
Anxiety, PTSD & Complex PTSD
