Professional Consultation & Mentorship
ADVANCED SUPPORT FOR CLINICIANS WORKING WITH TRAUMA, DISSOCIATION AND COMPLEXITY
For therapists or other human service providers navigating difficult clinical terrain, whether you’re a recent graduate or a seasoned practitioner, I offer consultation grounded in decades of specialized experience with complex developmental trauma, dissociative disorders (including DID), early attachment injury, and high-acuity presentations.
This is not supervision. It is mentorship, case consultation, and a thinking partnership for the cases that don’t fit neatly into standard frameworks.

WHAT TO EXPECTWe focus on what you bring: diagnostic uncertainty, treatment impasses, countertransference, system dynamics, pacing questions, safety planning, or simply the need to think aloud with someone who understands the work.
Consultation aligns with ISSTD best practices and, while not limited to, integrates structural dissociation theory, ego-state frameworks, AIP model, attachment theory, and CRM™-informed perspectives.
An Integrated Approach
This work integrates Modalities and Theories to help you understand how developmental trauma can shape neurophysiology and lived experience. We explore how shock, survival, and regulated states may show up in the body, while also building embodied skills for containment and stabilization. Attention is given to the role of the vagus nerve in supporting regulation, connection, and the way you experience yourself and others.
Depending on your needs, our work together may integrate:
-
Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) is a neuro-biologically informed approach that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

RO DBT treatment involves both individual treatment sessions and skills training classes, and clinically targets five OC (over-control) themes: inhibited and disingenuous emotional expression; hyper-detailed, focused, and overly cautious behavior; rigid and rule-governed behavior; aloof and distant style of relating; and high social comparison and envy/bitterness.

Given what we now know about the neurobiology of PTSD and how the brain processes shock and traumatic experiences, it’s very important that we integrate neuroscientifically-guided therapies into PTSD treatment. Deep Brain Reorienting™ (DBR) is one such treatment. DBR is a neuroscience-based treatment for PTSD that targets the sequence of events that occurred in the brainstem at the time of the traumatic event. At this time, I use DBR to support the release of shock.

Brainspotting has developed into an in-depth therapeutic process that can be integrated with other healing modalities in either individual, group, or couples therapy. Dr. David Grand believes that “Brainspotting taps into the body’s natural self-scanning and self-healing abilities”. Brainspotting can help process the trauma, which can be the origins of depression, anxiety, phobias, and addictions. Brainspotting is used with all areas of trauma, including survivors of war, natural disasters, and abuse. Among many other applications, Brainspotting is also being successfully utilized with medical conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries, strokes, fibromyalgia, headaches, and preparation and recovery from surgery. Brainspotting is used in CRM when we use eye positions to anchor your felt experience (neurobiology) of a resource. It is used out of session to practice and to more quickly access resources as needed.
