My goal is to better as many lives as possible. 

 

I do that by using EMDR on a regular basis with my own clients,

but also by providing consultation to other clinicians

who want to improve their own understanding and delivery of EMDR. 

 

Consultation is for clinicians who have the EMDR basic training

and want to work toward certification,

or who just want to increase their knowledge and application of EMDR.

Understanding the EMDR certification process:

​

Being a Certified Therapist in EMDR is optional. Completing the EMDR Training Course fully qualifies one ethically, professionally, and within one’s standards of practice to provide EMDR in one’s clinical setting.

​

Upon completion of the training course, a therapist may at any time thereafter pursue becoming a Certified Therapist in EMDR.

​
