Introducing

Adjunct EMDR Therapy

  • Adjunct EMDR Therapy is a collaborative model where you, as the primary therapist, continue leading the therapeutic relationship while I provide short-term, targeted EMDR sessions. This allows your client to receive focused trauma work without disrupting the progress you’ve already established. Depending on the client’s needs, sessions can occur concurrently with your ongoing work, or your client may take a brief pause from regular therapy to engage in EMDR intensives.

  • With the client’s consent, we work together to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their goals and timing. I maintain communication with you regarding progress and recommendations, and once the adjunct EMDR phase is complete, your client seamlessly transitions back to you for ongoing care.

  • This approach creates a treatment team that combines our unique expertise. While my role is to address trauma through EMDR, you bring a deeper knowledge of your client’s broader concerns, whether that’s relational issues, eating disorders, OCD, or other clinical areas. Working collaboratively allows us to provide comprehensive, high-quality care while honoring the therapeutic bond you’ve built with your client.

  • You’ll work with me short-term to focus on specific goals through EMDR therapy. Once we complete our sessions, you’ll transition smoothly back to your primary therapist to continue your ongoing work. This brief pause often helps you return with greater insight, readiness, and emotional clarity to build on the progress you’ve made.

In our work together, we will…

  • Together, we’ll ensure your client receives the very best care through a blend of our specialties. By combining your ongoing therapeutic work with focused EMDR provided by me briefly, clients can move through barriers that may have previously stalled their progress. Looking ahead, this allows your clients to return to you with renewed clarity and momentum, deepening the effectiveness of the work you’re already doing.

  • Clear and consistent communication will keep us aligned and ensure your client feels fully supported throughout the process. I’ll provide updates on progress, always respecting your role as the primary therapist. This transparency builds trust between us as clinicians and allows your client to benefit from a seamless, unified approach.

  • We’ll work together to develop a treatment plan and schedule that best serves your client’s needs. Coordination reduces gaps in care and provides your client with a structured, focused path toward progress. Moving forward, this structured approach strengthens continuity of care and reinforces the trust your client already has in the therapeutic process.

Together, We Create Lasting Change.

  • Adjunct therapy is designed to complement, not replace, your work. By focusing on trauma-specific issues through EMDR, I can help your client move past blocks that may be slowing progress. When they return to you, they’ll often come back with renewed clarity and readiness to go deeper in the work you’re already doing.

  • Absolutely! You remain the anchor and primary therapist throughout the process. My role is short-term and highly focused, ensuring your therapeutic relationship stays strong and your client benefits from the collaboration.

  • Adjunct therapy is short-term and goal-oriented, usually lasting anywhere from a few sessions to a set number of weeks. Together, we’ll agree on a timeline that fits your client’s needs. This structure helps create focused outcomes while making sure clients transition smoothly back into your ongoing work.

  • Adjunct therapy can help your client process trauma more efficiently, allowing them to access parts of your ongoing work that previously felt “stuck.” This often strengthens therapeutic momentum, enhances overall outcomes, and can provide a sense of relief for both you and your client as progress becomes more visible.

  • With your client’s consent, I’ll keep you informed of their progress and coordinate care every step of the way. My goal is to ensure we work seamlessly together, so you always feel confident about where your client is in the process and how they are benefiting.

  • The first step is simply reaching out to me so we can discuss your client’s needs and goals. With the client’s consent, we’ll create a clear plan together, including treatment focus, structure, and communication preferences. This ensures a smooth start for your client and a collaborative process where you feel supported every step of the way.

  • My expertise is in working with anxiety, trauma, grief, and complex emotional challenges that often leave clients feeling stuck. I also integrate other evidence-based approaches, such as, IFS, Brainspotting, Flash, and somatic techniques. This integrative approach will deepen and accelerate the healing process. By focusing on trauma resolution, I can provide your client with the specialized support they need while strengthening the progress they’re making with you.

  • Absolutely! In fact it’s encouraged. You’ll work with me short-term to focus on specific goals through EMDR therapy.
