EMDR Consultation

for Therapists

Feel confident as an EMDR therapist. Build your competence. Get non-judgmental support.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Whether you’re just starting out with EMDR or knee-deep in complex trauma cases, consultation gives you the support you need to feel confident and effective.

Let’s be real: You know EMDR is effective, but it can also be overwhelming.

Maybe you’re newly trained and unsure how to actually use EMDR with real clients. Or maybe you’ve tried it with complex trauma cases—and it’s gone sideways.

I’ve been there.


When I first started using EMDR, I was working with clients navigating eating disorders and complex trauma. I tried to follow the protocol and the scripts step-by-step—but I kept getting lost and overwhelmed. I felt like a mess.

But even then, I knew EMDR had the potential to be life-changing. That belief kept me going.


And now, EMDR is one of the most powerful, reliable tools in my practice. I use it every day with confidence—even in complex cases—and I see it create lasting change where nothing else worked.

How can you get there?

It wasn’t magic. It was consultation. It was learning from people who could guide me through the my own stuck spots—like how to adapt EMDR for real-life clients, how to manage when things go off the rails, and how to stop second-guessing myself.

Now, as a certified EMDR therapist, EMDRIA-approved consultant, and Facilitator-in-Training with the EMDR Institute, I offer the kind of consultation that helps you avoid all the mistakes I made:

-A place to ask the questions you’re scared to ask

-Compassionate, nonjudgmental support (no “shoulds,” no shame)

-Confidence with the scripts and how to use them

-How to maintain fidelity to the model and still be your real self

Whether you’re newly trained or navigating tough cases, you don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s get you grounded, supported, and feeling like the EMDR therapist you know you can be.

This isn’t check the box consultation. This is support that helps you grow.
