Are you interested in getting certified in EMDR?
EMDR certification with me is a structured process that will ensure expertise with the standard protocol.
Please see EMDRIA requirements regarding expectations for full certification. It is generally recommended that you will have been using EMDR with a broad range of clients for a minimum of six months or longer before becoming certified. This allows for maximum hours of practice and consultation before certification.

As a certified EMDR therapist, and an EMDRIA-approved consultant and trainer, In 2019, I spoke at the Vancouver EMDR Canada Conference on Using Intensive EMDR for First Responders and Military. My recent training courses include:
EMDR on-demand Webinar for EMDR therapists:
Case Conceptualization: Using EMDR: How to Complete an Effective Assessment for The Purpose of Developing Target Sequence Plans, including Symptom Informed Plans to Treat PTSD For First Responders and Military.
In 2022, I became an organizer for the EMDR Humanitarian Recovery Network, creating a Trauma Recovery Network in Vancouver. I organized a team of 10 Expert EMDR therapists who ran six pro bono EMDR groups for women and children fleeing the war in Ukraine. Our team's impactful work extended to speaking at the EMDR HAP Conference in Anaheim in 2023, where my team and I spoke on ASSYST & EMDR-IGTP-OTS Humanitarian Psychosocial Pilot Project for Ukrainian Refugees Displaced by War in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I have had the wonderful privilege of learning from some of the best trauma therapists in the EMDR community.
These distinguished therapists include Dr. Andrew Leeds (Resource Development Installation), Dr. AJ Popky (DeTUR Urge Addiction Protocol), Dr. Gary Ladd (Facilitator for Dr. Francine Shapiro), Dr. Patricia Wilensky (Death File), and Dr. Marshall Wilensky (Retired Approved EMDR Trainer in Canada and the USA) and Katie O'Shea.
Recently, I have had the great honour of working directly with Dr. Ignacio Jarero using his IGTP - OTS protocol for group work with displaced persons of war. In 2022, I deployed this group protocol for several months, working with displaced women and children from the Ukraine war.
Having worked at a primary care health clinic in Vancouver's downtown eastside, I have used EMDR with various clients. This includes individuals suffering from substance use, survivors of residential schools, dissociative disorders, and childhood trauma. In addition, I have had extensive experience treating trauma using EMDR with first responders, police officers, and the military at the BC Operational Stress Injury Clinic.
