Supporting Therapists in Bringing Healing to Children Through Play, Presence, and Connection

I am an EMDRIA Approved Consultant in Training (CIT) offering EMDR consultation for therapists and mental health professionals who have completed EMDR Basic Training, including the required consultation hours. These consultations are designed for those seeking EMDR Certification or simply looking for ongoing support in their work with children ages 12 and under.

My approach integrates non-directive play therapy, sandtray therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, and attachment-based play therapy within the EMDR framework to support safe, attuned, and developmentally appropriate trauma processing. I focus on helping consultees honor and trust the child’s natural play process, learning to recognize how healing emerges through play rather than interrupting or directing it.

Whether you’re seeking guidance on playful resourcing, incorporating bilateral stimulation naturally within sandtray or other creative modalities, or deepening attunement to the child’s cues during EMDR, consultation offers a space of curiosity, reflection, and support. The emphasis is always on staying present and responsive, allowing EMDR to unfold organically through the language of play.
