Transference & Countertransference
Approved Clinical Consultant & Certified therapist
With a profound journey in EMDR dating back to the late 1990's when I was first an EMDR client myself and then being fully trained by 2013, I have since been dedicated to counseling client as well as consulting and training therapists. Holding an active EMDR Clinical Consultant status with Evergreen, and previously with EMDRIA, my commitment to excellence in therapy is unwavering. In addition, I am honored to be recognized as an trauma expert, IFS Approved Clinical Consultant, and a Registered Yoga Teacher.
While I initially held consultant status and certification with EMDRIA, my choice to collaborate with PESI led to a thoughtful decision to part ways with EMDRIA. This shift aligned with my vision, and I am proud to work alongside Arielle Schwartz LP, Ph.D., and a team of exceptional EMDR experts at PESI, elevating the standards of training and making EMDR and other professional trainings more accessible to ALL. PESI's commitment to providing affordable and accessible training to a diverse range of mental health clinicians resonates with my mission.
In my consultation groups, I embrace an integrative EMDR approach that incorporates somatic psychology, IFS therapy, Polyvagal theory, attachment, and transpersonal therapies. This approach allows therapists to tap into their creativity and intuition, empowering them to work with clients, even in the most complex cases. Together, we heal wounded hearts, fostering growth and transformation.
Partner with me on this journey of empowerment and innovation as we navigate the realms of integrative EMDR and holistic healing.

Healing Through Acceptance
Embark on a transformative journey with Effective EMDR therapy, a holistic approach that delicately tends to the wounds carried by your mind, body, heart, and soul. At the core of this healing process is the creation of a comfortable and sacred therapeutic space, an essential foundation for trauma work.
EMDR therapy reveres the innate wisdom within you and acknowledges your inherent capacity to heal. It recognizes that your experiences are meaningful responses to what has happened, and in this approach, gentle tools and protocols are offered for profound wound healing.
Rather than attempting to erase the past, a futile endeavor, this approach empowers you to integrate memories, emotions, sensations, and experiences that were once improperly stored. It introduces corrective experiences, addressing past wounds that manifest as current unwanted symptoms.
This worthwhile journey unfolds a path toward self-acceptance, guiding you to become more empowered and present in your life now. Effective EMDR therapy is not just about healing; it's about transformation and reclaiming the fullness of your being.
