Some clients need support that goes deeper than insight or expression alone.

You’ve done meaningful work with your client—whether it’s helping them express their story through art, navigate complex relationships, or build emotional resilience. But when trauma is sitting at the root, it can keep them stuck in patterns that insight alone can’t shift.

That’s where adjunctive trauma therapy comes in.

For clients who need structured trauma processing, EMDR and Parts Work can help them move through stuck points in a way that complements the work you’re already doing.

My goal isn’t to replace their therapy—I’m here to support their healing while keeping you informed every step of the way.

When clients hit a wall in therapy, it’s not a sign that something is wrong—it’s often a sign that trauma is showing up in the nervous system in ways that talking, insight, or expression alone can’t fully resolve.

That’s where I come in.

As a therapist with advanced training in trauma treatment, I offer adjunctive EMDR and Parts Work for clients who need additional support to process trauma at the root—without disrupting the ongoing work they’re doing with you.

My approach is collaborative, integrative, and deeply attuned to each client’s unique lived experience. I work with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ adults navigating complex cultural, relational, and identity-based trauma. My job is to support their healing, not take over treatment.

How I Support Your Clients’ Trauma Healing

What I bring to our shared work:

EMDR Therapy

Helps clients reprocess traumatic memories so they lose emotional intensity. EMDR activates the brain’s natural healing ability, allowing clients to shift the negative core beliefs that are keeping them stuck (e.g. “I’m not enough,” “I have to be perfect to be safe”).

Parts Work (IFS-informed)

Supports clients in understanding the internal conflicts that keep them in self-sabotage, guilt, or shutdown mode. This is especially helpful for clients torn between honoring cultural expectations and advocating for their own needs.

Body-Based Tools & Nervous System Support

I incorporate grounding, polyvagal-informed strategies, and pacing to ensure that trauma processing is safe, attuned, and not retraumatizing.

Why does EMDR work so well for this?

Because it doesn’t just help your client process old experiences—it also targets the core beliefs they’ve carried about themselves because of their beliefs. Whether it’s

“I’m not enough,”

“My needs are not important,” or

“I can’t trust myself,”

EMDR helps your client rewire those deep-seated beliefs, so they no longer define their choices, their relationships, or how they see themselves.

What to Expect from Adjunctive Trauma Therapy

This is a collaborative process—from beginning to end.

This process is flexible, respectful, and guided by your client’s needs, your clinical insight, and our shared commitment to ethical care.

Adjunctive trauma therapy is designed to support, not replace, the work you're already doing with your client. I work in alignment with their primary therapy goals while offering specialized tools to help them process trauma safely and effectively.

Here’s what you (and your client) can expect when we work together: 

    • I’ll begin with a consultation call with the client to determine fit and readiness for EMDR and/or Parts Work.

    • With the client’s written consent, I’ll connect with you to understand their treatment goals, trauma history, and what you’re hoping adjunctive work will support.

    • I’ll assess the client’s nervous system regulation skills and readiness for trauma processing.

    • We’ll begin by building a strong foundation of resourcing and stabilization, which continues throughout the EMDR and Parts Work process to ensure safety and attunement.

    • Once ready, I’ll begin EMDR reprocessing and/or Parts Work interventions in a way that aligns with your ongoing work.

    • I keep you informed (with client consent), especially if significant shifts come up that may impact your sessions.

    • When trauma work is complete or the client has reached a point of greater stability, we’ll collaboratively determine the best point to conclude adjunctive work.

    • The client continues with you as their primary therapist, now with greater emotional regulation and reduced trauma responses.

What Your Client Can Gain from Adjunctive Trauma Therapy

Clients don’t just need to understand their trauma—they need to feel different in their bodies, relationships, and sense of self.

This work can help your client:

✓ Identify

the core beliefs driving emotional overwhelm and relational patterns—like “I have to be perfect to be loved” or “I only matter when I’m helping others.”

✓ Heal

unresolved trauma in a way that reduces reactivity and supports deeper integration in their ongoing therapy work.

✓ Strengthen self-trust

so they’re no longer second-guessing their boundaries, needs, or emotions.

✓ Experience internal safety

that makes it possible to hold boundaries and navigate relational dynamics without shutting down.

✓ Break free

from trauma loops and survival-mode responses, so they can more fully engage in their healing with you.

✓ Return to your care

with a stronger foundation for continued growth and transformation.

You don’t have to do it all alone.

When trauma processing requires specialized support, adjunctive EMDR and Parts Work can help your client finally move forward—not by replacing the foundation you’ve built, but by healing what’s been holding them back.

Adjunctive trauma therapy can help your client move forward—while you continue guiding their bigger picture.

Let’s talk about how we can collaborate. 

Note: I work with clients who have experienced complex trauma, but if you experience significant dissociation (such as frequent memory loss, losing time, or feeling like different parts of you take over) or have been diagnosed with DID, I may not be the best fit. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to offer referrals to specialists who can provide the right support for you.

FAQs

Curious to know more? Check out these common questions about Adjunctive EMDR and Trauma Therapy.

  • I work with adults—especially women, trans, and nonbinary folks in the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities—who are navigating the weight of complex family dynamics, cultural expectations, and identity-based stress.

    These are often clients who feel stuck in cycles of guilt, people-pleasing, or emotional shutdown despite strong insight and motivation in therapy. They’re ready to go deeper, but need trauma processing support to move forward.

    If your client is emotionally safe and stable in your work together but is struggling with unresolved trauma, persistent negative beliefs, or nervous system dysregulation, they may be a great fit for adjunctive trauma work.

  • While I work with clients who have complex trauma, I am not equipped to work with clients who experience high levels of dissociation, significant memory gaps, or who have been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

    I want all clients to get the care they need, and I’ll gladly refer to a trusted specialist if it turns out someone needs a different level or type of trauma support.

  • With the client’s consent, I keep open and respectful communication with you throughout the process. I’ll reach out at the beginning to align on goals, stay in touch if significant shifts arise, and coordinate a thoughtful reintegration plan when trauma work concludes.

    My intention is always to support your work—not disrupt it.

  • Once trauma processing is complete or the client has reached a new level of regulation and stability, I will conclude my work and they will return fully to your care for ongoing growth and integration.

    If we determine the client needs additional adjunctive support in the future, I’m happy to revisit collaboration at that time.

  • If a client expresses interest in continuing work with me outside of the adjunctive agreement, I’ll bring this up in consultation with you and the client. My default stance is to honor the original therapeutic relationship and only shift roles if ethically appropriate and mutually agreed upon.

    Client autonomy is important—but so is respecting boundaries and the therapeutic alliance you’ve built.

  • I am an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. However, I can provide superbills for clients to submit to their insurance for possible reimbursement.

    A limited number of sliding scale spots are available, and I’m always happy to discuss fee options with referred clients.

  • I practice through a lens of liberation-focused, anti-oppressive care. I believe therapy should affirm a client’s whole identity—including cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, and lived experience.

    I don’t view trauma work as “fixing” something broken. I see it as reclaiming wholeness in the face of systems, stories, and relationships that have made clients feel small or unsafe.

    If you’re looking for a therapist who holds cultural humility, honors complexity, and knows how to hold deep work with care—your client is in the right place.
