EMDR Consultation

Supportive, grounded consultation for EMDR clinicians seeking confidence, clarity, and clinical growth.

I provide EMDR consultation for clinicians who are newly trained, pursuing EMDRIA Certification, or seeking advanced support with case conceptualization, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making.

As an EMDRIA-Approved Certified EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Consultant-in-Training, and EMDR Basic Training Facilitator, I facilitate EMDR Basic Training and provide consultation across all phases of EMDR professional development, from initial training through EMDRIA Certification.

My professional background includes hospice bereavement care, grief and loss, end-of-life education, and EMDR therapy.

I am co-author of “Health-Medical Challenges and Grief: Group EMDR Therapy for Patients and Caregivers,” featured in EMDR Group Therapy: Emerging Principles and Protocols to Treat Trauma and Beyond (Springer Publishing, 2023).

My consultation style is collaborative, structured, and grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model. I support clinicians in strengthening fidelity to the eight phases of EMDR therapy while developing confidence, clinical judgment, and a deeper understanding of how EMDR can be applied across a variety of client presentations.

My Philosophy of Consultation

Consultation is more than meeting requirements for certification. It is an opportunity to deepen clinical understanding, strengthen confidence, and continue developing your professional identity as an EMDR therapist.

My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where clinicians feel comfortable asking questions, exploring challenges, thinking critically about cases, and growing both personally and professionally. Whether you are newly trained or have years of EMDR experience, consultation can provide valuable space for reflection, learning, and professional development.

Consultation May Be a Good Fit If You Are

• Newly trained in EMDR and wanting more confidence
• Pursuing EMDRIA Certification
• Seeking support with AIP-informed case conceptualization
• Wanting help with treatment planning and readiness
• Navigating stuck points, blocking beliefs, or complex presentations
• Looking for support with grief, traumatic grief, medical trauma, caregiver stress, serious illness, or end-of-life related cases
• Wanting a warm, thoughtful space to ask questions and grow as an EMDR clinician

Specialized Areas of Consultation

My clinical background includes grief and bereavement, trauma, oncology, chronic illness, caregiver stress, medical trauma, dementia-related concerns, and end-of-life care.

Areas of consultation include:

• Grief and Bereavement
• Traumatic Grief and Sudden Loss
• Medical Trauma
• Oncology and Serious Illness
• Caregiver Stress and Burnout
• Dementia and Neurodegenerative Disease
• End-of-Life and Palliative Care
• Attachment and Loss
• Existential Distress and Meaning-Making

I especially enjoy supporting EMDR clinicians as they navigate the intersections of trauma, attachment, grief, illness, mortality, and meaning-making.

EMDR Consultation and Certification Support

Consultation can support clinicians at many stages of EMDR practice, including immediately after Basic Training, during the EMDRIA Certification process, or when seeking additional support with more complex clinical work.

Consultation may include:

• AIP-informed case conceptualization
• Client preparation and stabilization
• Target sequencing and treatment planning
• Eight-phase fidelity
• Interweaves and clinical decision-making
• Navigating blocked processing and stuck points
• Grief, loss, illness, caregiving, and end-of-life themes
• Developing confidence and clinical presence as an EMDR therapist
