Provide consultation for clinicians working with complex trauma or developmental trauma which includes dissociation.  Consultation is predominantly in use of parts work in preparation phase, and how to use it in conjunction with EMDR processing, and lastly in reconnection with self, others and life.  I also have trained in 2 levels of sensorimotor therapy and hypnosis and may include some of this material in my consultations.  Consultation is for clinicians who already have a working knowledge of standard protocol and now want to learn when and why one would leave the protocol to help a client.

Individual consultations $100 or $80 for therapists working in non-profits.

Group consultations $50 or $35 for therapists working in non-profits.

Group lasts for 2 hours based on case consultations.

Collaboration behind the scenes with a network of veteran and specialized therapists locally and nationally, whose

wisdom and expertise can be tapped in consultation to provide further depth and breadth towards

meeting a  client's therapeutic goals

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker who specializes in traumatic grief and loss, anxiety and PTSD. I am also trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level I), an integrative therapy that helps clients strengthen their somatic resilience. As part of the Partners in Resilience group in the Loring Park area of Minneapolis, I value a collaborative, integrative approach to mental health and wellness.
