I offer consultation for clinicians who want support with EMDR, IFS, case conceptualization, and integrating these approaches into real clinical work.

You might come to consultation because you feel stuck with a case, are unsure how to conceptualize what you’re seeing, or want another perspective on moving between EMDR and IFS while keeping a clear treatment plan.

I’m an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant in Training, and my consultation work is especially informed by trauma, neurodivergence, complex presentations, and the integration of EMDR and IFS.

What We Can Work On

Consultation can include:

EMDR case conceptualization and treatment planning
Client readiness and preparation
Target identification and sequencing
Blocks or stalled processing
Complex or highly protective internal systems
Integrating IFS throughout the eight phases of EMDR
Deciding when to stay with standard EMDR and when clinical modifications may be appropriate
Trauma and complex trauma
Adapting EMDR and IFS for neurodivergent clients
Strengthening confidence and flexibility in your clinical decision-making

You do not need to arrive with a perfectly formed consultation question. Bring the case, the place you feel stuck, or the clinical decision you are trying to make, and we can think through it together.

Integrating EMDR + IFS

If you have training in both EMDR and IFS, you may understand each model individually and still find yourself wondering how to bring them together in practice.

Questions may include:

When do I stay with EMDR?
When do I slow down and work with the system?
What do I do when a protective part interrupts processing?
How do I incorporate parts work without losing the structure of EMDR?
How do I conceptualize the case through both models without making the work feel fragmented?

Consultation can help you think through the case using both lenses and develop a clearer understanding of how EMDR and IFS can work together while keeping the client’s needs and treatment goals at the center.

Consultation for Neurodivergent Clients

I also provide consultation for clinicians working with autistic and ADHD clients, including high-masking adults and clients whose neurodivergence intersects with trauma, burnout, OCD, or complex clinical presentations.

We can focus on what is happening in the client’s system, how neurodivergence may be shaping the presentation, and how to thoughtfully adapt EMDR and IFS while maintaining a clear clinical rationale.

Working Toward EMDRIA Certification?

As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant in Training, I can provide consultation to EMDR-trained clinicians working toward EMDRIA certification.

If you are seeking consultation hours toward certification, please let me know when you reach out so we can make sure the consultation is structured and documented appropriately.

Fees & Format

Individual Consultation — $175 per hour

Consultation is offered virtually in 60-minute sessions.

You can schedule consultation as needed for individual cases or meet more consistently for ongoing professional development or EMDRIA certification requirements.

Consultation is professional consultation, not clinical supervision. You remain responsible for your own clinical decision-making, documentation, licensure requirements, and client care.

Next Step

You do not need to have your question perfectly formulated before reaching out.

Bring the case, the place you feel stuck, or the clinical decision you are trying to make, and we’ll think through it together.
