Trainings for Group Practices & Clinical Teams

Bring the Training to Your Practice

Sometimes the most helpful training is the one that speaks directly to the clients your therapists are already struggling with.

The client who says they are ready for trauma processing—but something keeps getting in the way.

The client who understands everything intellectually but has difficulty accessing what is happening in their body.

The client who appears calm and regulated but may actually be disconnected.

The client who follows every intervention, agrees with the therapist, does everything “right”—and yet the work isn't moving.

Or the client whose trauma, attachment history, dissociation, protective parts, and nervous system responses don't fit neatly into a protocol.

These are the clinical spaces I am most interested in.

I offer virtual and in-person trainings for group practices and clinical teams who want to deepen their understanding of complex trauma, dissociation, EMDR, attachment, somatic work, and parts-informed trauma treatment.

My goal isn't simply to give your clinicians more techniques.

I want them to leave with a better understanding of what may be happening underneath the client's presentation—and what to do with that information in the therapy room.

Training Topics

Trainings can be selected from my existing programs or developed around the needs of your practice.

Beyond Readiness: Recognizing Subtle Dissociation and Hidden Barriers to EMDR Processing

What does “ready” actually mean?

This training looks beyond whether a client can identify a target, use coping skills, SUD-rate, appear regulated, and say, “I'm ready.”

We explore subtle dissociation, compliance-based adaptations, attachment, protective parts, embodied regulation, and the clinical signs that may tell us there is more happening beneath apparent readiness.

Somatic Stabilization in EMDR Therapy

Preparation and stabilization are more than teaching coping skills.

This training explores how we can use somatic awareness, nervous-system tracking, dual awareness, titration, pendulation, movement, and body-based resources to help clients develop a greater capacity to remain present and connected during trauma treatment.

Recognizing Dissociation in the Therapy Room

Looking Beyond the Obvious Signs

Dissociation doesn't always look like “checking out,” losing time, or obvious changes in presentation.

Sometimes the client is talking, making eye contact, answering questions, and appearing fully engaged—and something still feels different.

This training helps clinicians develop a more nuanced understanding of how dissociation can present in everyday clinical practice, including the subtle signs that are easy to overlook or mistake for anxiety, avoidance, intellectualization, emotional regulation, or simply being a “good therapy client.”

We will explore the spectrum of dissociative experiences and what clinicians may notice in the client's body, affect, memory, sense of self, internal experience, and therapeutic relationship.

The training also addresses an important clinical question:

When what I'm seeing makes me wonder about dissociation, what do I do next?

Topics can include recognizing subtle and more overt dissociative presentations, changes in presence and embodiment, memory gaps and discontinuities, shifts in self-state, depersonalization and derealization, differentiating screening from diagnosis, the role and limitations of screening measures such as the DES, when more comprehensive assessment may be indicated, and how recognizing dissociation can inform pacing and treatment planning.

Available as a 2- or 3-hour training.

When EMDR Gets Stuck?

What do we do when processing doesn't move?

Rather than immediately looking for the next intervention, this training encourages clinicians to become curious about why processing may have stopped.

Is there dissociation? A protective response? An attachment-related fear? A part that isn't ready? Are we moving outside the client's capacity to remain present and connected?

We explore how to recognize what may be happening and how that information can guide pacing, stabilization, interweaves, and treatment planning.

Interweaves: When, Why & How to Use Them

Interweaves aren't simply something we use because processing has stopped

Before asking “What interweave should I use?” I think we first need to ask:

“Why might processing be stuck?”

This training explores cognitive, somatic, affective, relational, movement-based, and parts-informed interweaves—and how to use them thoughtfully without moving too quickly to rescue the client or get processing moving again.

Training Can Be Customized to Your Team

Your practice may not need a standard training.

Maybe your clinicians are EMDR trained but struggling with complex trauma and dissociation.

Maybe your team wants more confidence recognizing subtle dissociation.

Maybe you're seeing a lot of clients who intellectualize, over-function, disconnect from their bodies, or appear regulated when something else seems to be happening underneath.

Or maybe your clinicians keep coming into supervision saying:

“I don't know why we're stuck.”

We can build a training around that.

Trainings can include a combination of teaching, clinical examples, case conceptualization, discussion, experiential exercises, and practical interventions clinicians can begin using in their work.

And I want clinicians to ask questions.

I don't want these trainings to feel like three hours of someone talking at your team. Some of the richest learning happens when we take the concepts and ask:

“Okay, but what does this look like with an actual client?”

Training + Clinical Consultation

For practices that want to go deeper, training can also be paired with ongoing clinical consultation.

This gives your clinicians an opportunity to learn the material, begin applying it, and then come back together with actual clinical questions.

Because sometimes the question isn't:

“Do I understand the concept?”

It's:

“I understand it. Now I have this client sitting in front of me. What do I do?”

Training followed by consultation allows us to work in that space.
