"My approach to consultation is structured and supportive. I believe in meeting consultees where they are, and encouraging them to push themselves to develop their skills to their full potential. Many (if not most) clinicians experience some insecurity after the basic training, and I am a firm believer that no question is too small. I will encourage you to start where you are, ask questions, and build skills from there. When possible, use of video and/or audio recordings of sessions, or sessions transcripts, is encouraged. My goal is for consultees to come away from their consultation experience feeling better prepared, more confident, and excited about the use of EMDR therapy in their practice. Please reach out with any questions, and I look forward to working with you!"
