EMDR CONSULTATION
CONCEPTUAL APPROACH AND PHILOSOPHICAL STATEMENT
COLLABORATIVE. My approach to working with consultees is grounded in creating a safe, collaborative environment that supports meaningful learning. I recognize that, particularly when we are new to EMDR, the process can bring forward a natural sense of vulnerability. With this in mind, I strive to foster a respectful and supportive space where learners feel encouraged to ask thoughtful questions and engage deeply with the material.
SAFE & SUPPORTIVE. I aim to challenge consultees in ways that make the learning both relevant and impactful, while maintaining a strong sense of psychological safety. My intention is to support not only the development of clinical skill, but also growing confidence, curiosity, and professional identity.
TRUE TO THE ROOTS. Above all, I believe it is essential to practice with fidelity to the EMDR conceptual model as originally developed by Francine Shapiro. While EMDR often opens the door to a rich exploration of complementary approaches—such as Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Ego State work, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR 2.0—I hold that these perspectives are most effective when thoughtfully integrated in service of the core model.
BLENDING STRUCTURE WITH CREATIVITY. In my experience, these modalities can deepen and enhance our work, offering valuable nuance and flexibility. At the same time, I approach their integration with clear intention and discernment, maintaining a strong allegiance to the foundational principles of EMDR. This balance allows for both clinical creativity and integrity, ultimately supporting more grounded and effective outcomes for our clients.
RESONANT. At the heart of my work is a deep appreciation for the transformative potential of EMDR—both for us as clinicians and for those we serve. I seek to share and cultivate that sense of possibility, inviting consultees to connect with the energy, purpose, and meaning that make this work so impactful.
