Education & Experience

A trauma and dissociation specialist, and EMDR therapist for over twenty years, I provide ongoing consultation for those seeking to increase their confidence in utilizing EMDR therapy with complex cases. My expertise includes teaching the application of structural dissociation theory in the treatment of dissociation. My EMDRIA Approved EMDR Basic Training also provides attendees with additional curriculum on dissociation and the treatment of complex trauma In addition, through my experience in both EMDR and Equine Assisted Therapy I also premiered EquiLateral: the EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Protocol for integrating EMDR and Equine-Assisted Therapy to become Equine-Assisted EMDR (EA-EMDR). Based on the success of this protocol I offer EMDRIA approved workshops and a best practice training to share this innovative protocol for EA-EMDR with others in the profession. I also offer consultation for those EMDR therapists seeking to expand their skills in utilizing strategies from the perspective of an animal-assisted EMDR approach, especially in their work with complex clients. A highly sought after public speaker, I have conducted numerous workshops, presentations, and seminars for a variety of corporations and federally funded organizations as well as spoken at numerous national and international conferences including EMDRIA, EMDR Canada, and EMDR Europe.
