EMDR Certified Therapist & EMDRIA Approved Consultant in Training™

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused therapy that helps the brain and nervous system process experiences that still feel emotionally or physically unresolved. Rather than simply talking through what happened, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside focused attention to help reprocess distressing memories, beliefs, and body sensations.

EMDR can be helpful for trauma, substance use, burnout, anxiety, relationship patterns, and other experiences that continue to shape how you feel, think, or respond in the present. The goal isn't to erase what happened, but to help the experience feel more integrated—so it has less power over your life now.

There are multiple levels to EMDR training, (1)

Flash & Advanced Flash Technique 

Flash & Advanced Flash Technique is a trauma-processing approach designed to help reduce the emotional intensity and distress associated with difficult or traumatic memories. Rather than asking you to fully revisit or recount a painful experience, Flash uses brief moments of focused attention and positive or neutral experiences to help the nervous system approach distressing material with less overwhelm.

Flash can be particularly useful for people who feel hesitant about traditional trauma processing, become easily overwhelmed when discussing difficult experiences, or want a gentler way to begin working with traumatic memories. It can also be integrated with other approaches, including EMDR, as part of a broader trauma treatment plan.

Four Blinks

Four Blinks is a brief, body-based approach to working with distressing experiences and emotional responses. It uses a simple visual and somatic process to help the nervous system shift out of stuck patterns of activation, allowing difficult material to feel more manageable without requiring you to repeatedly retell or relive the experience.

Four Blinks can be incorporated into trauma therapy as a gentle, accessible way to support regulation, reduce emotional intensity, and create more capacity for deeper therapeutic work.

Somatic Integrated Processing (SIP)

Somatic Integrated Processing brings the body into the work of therapy, recognizing that our experiences are held not only in our thoughts and memories, but also in the nervous system and body. Somatic Integrated Processing is foundational to the work I do, which incorporates three prongs of understanding (1) attachment and neurobiological development, (2) Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) and memory reconsolidation, and (3) somatic psychology. Through mindful attention to sensations, movement, impulses, and physiological responses, we can begin to understand patterns that may be difficult to access through talking alone.

This approach helps create greater awareness, regulation, and integration—supporting you in working with what your body is communicating while developing new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and difficult experiences.

Trauma of Money Certification 

Money can carry far more than a number on a bank statement. Our experiences with scarcity, instability, family expectations, success, debt, or financial security can shape how we understand ourselves, relationships, and what it means to feel safe.

Money trauma can show up as anxiety around spending or saving, difficulty feeling secure even when there is enough, shame about having or not having money, conflict with partners, or a constant sense that something could go wrong. Therapy can help you understand the emotional and relational patterns underneath your relationship with money and develop a sense of safety that isn't dependent on always having control.
