Clinical Supervision & EMDR Consultation
Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision provides a supportive space to strengthen clinical skills, deepen case conceptualization, and navigate the ethical and relational complexities of practice.
Whether you are a new clinician seeking supervision for registration requirements or an experienced therapist looking for ongoing consultation, I create a collaborative environment that supports both professional growth and confidence.
As a supervisor approved by the New Brunswick Association of Social Workers (NBASW), I provide clinical supervision grounded in evidence-informed practice, experience, and practical application.

My Approach To Clinical Supervision
My goal is not simply to meet supervision requirements, but to help clinicians develop confidence, think critically, and discover a clinical approach that feels authentic to them.
I believe the best supervision creates space for curiosity, reflection, and honest conversation. Together, we explore clinical questions, ethical dilemmas, and challenging cases while building confidence in your own clinical judgment.
My supervision is informed by over 30 years of clinical social work experience, ongoing professional development in trauma, attachment, EMDR, dissociation, and workplace psychological health, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
In addition to providing individual supervision and consultation, I am committed to advancing trauma-informed practice through clinician education, professional mentorship, and the development of practical resources that support therapists throughout their careers.
Ready to Enhance Your Clinical Practice?
Supervision can be especially helpful for:
- New graduates
- Social workers completing supervision requirements
- Clinicians working with trauma
- Therapists wanting to deepen clinical reasoning
- Experienced clinicians seeking consultation on complex cases
EMDR Consultation
Whether you’re working toward EMDR certification or looking to deepen your confidence with complex trauma cases, consultation should be more than signing off on required hours. It should help you think differently, strengthen your clinical decision-making, and help you to feel supported in your growth as an EMDR therapist.

My Consultation Style
My consultation style is collaborative, practical, and focused on building a solid foundation of understanding before adding advanced protocols and interventions. I enjoy helping therapists build their confidence while maintaining fidelity to the EMDR model. Together we will explore case conceptualization, readiness, blocking beliefs, dissociation, and adapting treatment for complex presentations.
Working with an EMDR Consultant provides you with a solid understanding of the standard protocol which can lead to both improved confidence and treatment outcomes in therapy sessions. EMDR Consultants must participate in ongoing continuing education and can direct you towards specialized protocols, research and training opportunities in your clinical focus areas.
Requirements for EMDR Certification
Therapists must receive a minimum of 20 hours of consultation as part of the requirements to become an EMDRIA-approved Certified Therapist. 10 hours may come from EMDR Group Consultation. You can add your name to our EMDR Consultation Group waiting list here.
