Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is an evidence-based, structured modality for treating trauma and maladaptive memory networks. Through bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements or tapping—clients can process distressing memories, reduce emotional distress, and strengthen adaptive beliefs about themselves and the world.Recognized by major international organizations including WHO, VA/DoD, NICE, and SAMHSA, EMDR Therapy is a recommended treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. Research supports its effectiveness in treating anxiety, depression, and complex trauma.The goal of this training is to equip clinicians with the skills, knowledge, and support to confidently implement EMDR Therapy. The training includes five full days (40 direct hours) of didactic and experiential learning, followed by 10 hours of consultation to deepen understanding and application.
Training will cover Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory, use of the Standard Protocol for administering EMDR Therapy, and adaptations for special populations. Consultation will focus on reviewing case formulations, providing feedback, and supporting clinicians in integrating EMDR into practice. Participants will explore the cultural origins of bilateral stimulation, cultural considerations in trauma processing, and special considerations when using EMDR Therapy with diverse and minority populations.
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

I’m excited to share that enrollment is now open for the Retreat Creator Mastermind.
This is something I’ve been developing for a while—after years of leading retreats and having conversations with so many of you who feel called to create your own.
And what I see over and over again is this:
The vision is there…
But the structure, clarity, and next steps are what’s missing.
That’s exactly what this experience is designed to provide.
This is an 8-week, high-touch virtual mastermind where I’ll guide you step-by-step to:
By the end of the experience, you’ll have a fully designed, launch-ready retreat—and be ready to bring it to life in 2027
