When going beyond EMDR basic training is important.



I remember when I first completed my EMDR basic training and as excited as I was to have this new option for my clients there was a part of me that did not feel quite ready to just jump in. At some point many of us have dealt with ‘wanting to do it right’, so feeling competent is important. EMDR has been such a game-changer for my practice and my clients that I went on to get Certified after basic training, as well as complete the Consultant-In-Training (CIT) process to now be an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. I’ve also been a teaching assistant at EMDR basic trainings and consulted with therapists across the U.S. working through basic training and towards their own certification.

I enjoy offering a supportive space for fellow clinicians in-person or online, whether ‘as needed’ for case conceptualization or for those specifically interested in certification. Be sure to take a look at my specialties and feel free to contact me via email to discuss fit and scheduling. My rates can be found here.



There are several different reasons a therapist seeks EMDR consultation. Things I tend to hear:

  • “I’ve completed basic training, but it was a lot of information and I’m struggling to apply what I’ve learned.”

  • “I completed basic training, but I don’t feel as competent as I’d like so I don’t even use EMDR in my practice.”

  • “I completed my training years ago and could use a little refreshing.”

  • “I only feel comfortable using EMDR in person, so I don’t offer it online.”

  • “I feel pretty confident, but I have a tough case that I’d like to consult on.”

  • “I’ve completed basic training and I want to get certified!”

  • “I want to transition my practice to an intensive model or start offering intensive options.”


EMDR Certification Package Offerings

Standard Certification Package Options and Intensive Consultation Package Options are available, based on your individual needs.


EMDR Individual Consultation Offerings

EMDR Group Consultation Offerings

Intensive Group *In-Person*

In the Columbia River Gorge

This intensive group consultation format is ideal for therapists who prefer an in-person learning environment, are working towards certification, and need to complete the 10 group hours. If joining a 6-10 month consultation group feels like a big commitment and has been a barrier to moving forward, this group can offer the flexibility and support you need in two 5 hour groups. Join me in-person, in beautiful Hood River, Oregon. Small group size to enrich our time together!
