So excited to be offering another round of EMDR Consultation Cohorts. I currently have space open in two consultation groups, depending on where you are in your EMDR journey.

Certification Group - for clinicians working toward EMDRIA Certification. We work on case conceptualization through the AIP model, target sequencing, navigating stuck points, and building confidence with dissociation and complex presentations, through live case discussion and real feedback. Includes 2 hours of group supervision monthly, resource library access, a private community space, a live Q&A, and 5.5 EMDRIA CEs. $175/month, 2nd Mondays.

CIT Group - for Consultants-in-Training working toward EMDRIA Approved Consultant status. This 10-month program develops the skills specific to becoming a consultant — structuring consultee goals, assessing readiness, giving developmental feedback, and facilitating group dynamics. 1 hour of group and 1 hour of individual consultation monthly. By the end, you'll have all 20 hours required for Approved Consultant status, completed with one consultant. Also includes resource library access, a private community space, discounts on workshops, and 5.5 EMDRIA CEs. $250/month, 4th Mondays.
If either fits where you are, I'd love to work with you.

September often comes with pressure—discipline, routines, and the now “great lock in.” This year, it also arrives in the midst of constant turmoil and ongoing tragedy across our world. It can feel overwhelming to hold so much while still trying to keep up with daily life.

This Soulcare September, we’re honoring capacity and finding rhythm—building practices that nourish, not deplete. Practices that allow us to stay aware and also take care.

Come reset with me this month through journaling, slow flow yoga practices and connected spaces.

You’re Allowed to Outgrow Survival Mode
“Give yourself permission to re-learn living because survival taught you habits that peace no longer requires.”
Let’s be real—peace can feel unfamiliar when we are used to always moving & the world is on fire. From political chaos to global unrest, many of us are stuck in a loop of vigilance, heartbreak, and burnout. And for those who’ve already lived in survival mode—due to trauma, oppression, or both—it’s easy to wonder: Is it even safe to exhale?

But here’s the truth: we don’t have to wait for the world to be safe to start healing.

In fact, learning to soften our nervous systems—even in the midst of a sh*tshow—is a radical act of reclaiming our humanity.
It’s okay if your habits no longer fit this season of your life.
It’s okay to rest.
It’s okay to reach for joy.
It’s okay to live like you deserve more than just getting by.

This May we are coming together to gather in community healing practices. Join us! Learn more - Link in the Bio!

What’s one survival strategy you’re gently unlearning this season?
