EMDR Certification & Professional Consultation

As a Certified EMDR Therapist trained in Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR and a Consultant-in-Training, I can offer up to 15 of the 20 consultation hours required for EMDRIA Certification. Whether you’re working toward certification or simply want to strengthen your skills, my approach to consultation is collaborative, supportive, and deeply rooted in real-world application. This is a space where you can bring your questions, stuck points, and cases, and leave with practical tools, fresh perspective, and renewed confidence in your work.

I bring a unique combination of lived and professional experience to the table U.S. Army veteran, former law enforcement officer, and years of service in the medical system, from inpatient care to hospice, often in first responder roles. I understand the impact of complex trauma, moral injury, high-stress environments, and relational disconnection not just from the clinical side, but from lived reality.

Alongside EMDR, my clinical foundation includes Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and relational work, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (Certified), Brainspotting, IFS/Ego States work, hypnotherapy, yoga-based nervous system practices (RYT-200), and specialized training in preverbal trauma, OCD/BFRB (Inference-Based CBT & ERP), and Gottman Method. This integrative lens allows me to help you move beyond protocol alone exploring how to weave EMDR with body-based, attachment-focused, and relational approaches that meet the needs of complex, nuanced clients.

In consultation, we focus not just on “how” to do EMDR, but on how to adapt it in a way that honors your client’s pacing, attunement, culture, and nervous system. I especially enjoy helping therapists integrate somatic and attachment work, build confidence in navigating challenging moments, and hold the relational space that supports deep change. Whether you’re just starting your EMDR journey, actively pursuing certification, or seeking advanced case consultation, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you grow your skills and expand your impact.

EMDR & Professional Consultation

CEMDR Certification & Professional Consultation

Consultation is more than a requirement it’s a space for meaningful growth, deeper understanding, and feeling more confident and supported in your clinical work. Whether you’re pursuing EMDR Certification, integrating body-based and attachment-focused approaches, or navigating complex, high-stakes cases, consultation offers a place to bring your questions, challenges, and curiosities without judgment.

This is a collaborative process. You bring your experience, perspective, and goals; I bring advanced training, lived experience, and a commitment to helping you grow in ways that are both practical and deeply aligned with who you are as a therapist.

How Consultation Works

Individual Consultation
One-on-one consultation is tailored to your specific goals and clinical needs. This may include strengthening EMDR protocol skills, working through stuck cases, adapting interventions for complex trauma, or integrating multiple modalities in a thoughtful way. I can provide up to 15 of the 20 EMDRIA-required consultation hours toward EMDR Certification, with an emphasis on somatic and attachment-focused work, pacing, and nervous-system awareness—for both you and your clients.

Group Consultation
Group consultation offers a rich, supportive environment to learn from both guided discussion and shared clinical experience. Together, we explore case dynamics, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making in a collaborative space. Groups are available for EMDRIA Certification hours or for ongoing professional development and support.

Who This Is For

Consultation may be a good fit if you:

Want to integrate body-based and attachment-focused approaches into EMDR
Are navigating complex cases and want thoughtful, grounded guidance
Value collaborative feedback, honesty, and practical tools you can use immediately

What Growth Looks Like

Over time, therapists often move from feeling uncertain or stuck to feeling grounded, flexible, and confident in their clinical decisions. You’ll deepen your understanding of pacing, nervous-system regulation, and integration across modalities while building the confidence to adapt EMDR to the real clients you serve.

Whether you choose individual or group consultation, this work is about more than completing hours. It’s about becoming the therapist you want to be—with clarity, skill, and presence that supports both you and your clients.
