Clinical Consultation
BA Psych • Masters of Social Work • RSW • Certified EMDR Therapist
EMDR Consultant in training
Our clinical work is filled with triumphs, connection and deep satisfaction. Sometimes though, we all need guidance through tough cases. The ones where movement has slowed, a client is heavily defended or case conceptualization has become foggy.
As an EMDR consultant-in-training I aim to…
• Help you untangle client looping
• Trouble shoot SUD’s that just won’t budge
• Assist with target sequence planning (should you use belief route? timeline route? The emotion route?)
• Decide when to use interweaves and when to stay out of the work
• Instruct around use the structural dissociation model and EMDR
• Guide through advanced protocols
• Share helpful resourcing to ground clients before reprocessing
• Provide 15 of the 20 sessions needed to become certified

Time for a little about me.
I have worked in the area of mental health for 17 years as a Master’s Level Social Worker. Shortly into my career, the work took me over. I felt compelled to leave the profession. But this jolt forced a look at boundary setting, self care, grounding and truly attending to my own core beliefs.
Above all else, I really like people. Case by case, I’d love to help you feel efficacy and connection in your work.
