EMDR Consultation
We are two EMDRIA certified clinicians and EMDRIA Approved Consultants. Marc owns and runs Nerd/Geek Therapy and Christie currently works in a community mental health settings and have been collaborating with each other, hyping each other up, enabling each other’s plushie addiction, and indulging in therapy and psychology nerdiness over the past few years. Our mentor has referred to us as her therapy twins. Marc is available for individual consultation and Christie and Marc tag-team a Saturday consultation group that meets from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Pacific Time via Google Meet.

Greetings! I am a LMFT and LPCC in CA. I am a NCC, CCMHC, and SE Practitioner (SEP™) with Somatic Experiencing International. I believe in the integration of mind and body awareness in sessions, and bring this to consultations. I integrate EMDR with a somatic and creative lens in the consultation space. Consultation can be a place of learning, understanding, and exploring where to go next. I want to provide a safe place to ask any questions with compassion and curiosity. I currently work in a community mental health clinic as a therapist, individual mentor, and group mentor for unlicensed clinicians. My own personal experiences with EMDR and somatic therapy has impacted my life greatly(for the better). I am an EMDR certified therapist since 2021, and EMDR approved consultant beginning 2025. I am a LMFT and LPCC in CA, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP™). I am a RYT500 and appreciate spiritual practices. I love cats, meditation, the desert, and beach. Areas of focus: Complex trauma, PTSD, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders.

LMFT #124951
I was trained in 2019/2020 through EMDR HAP and have been practicing and learning how to adapt EMDR for different client concerns. I like to take a nerdy/geeky, creative, and collaborative approach with the clients I work with. I integrate DBT mindfulness skills, somatic resourcing, and incorporate the lens of structural dissociation into my work with clients who present with complex trauma. I enjoy thinking out of the box and embrace the chaos of hot mess therapy when working with clients. I’d love to collaborate with you on finding the balance between your inherent creativity and the structure of EMDR therapy. I have a small army of cats, an often neglected love for gaming, and dabble in other areas of creative chaos such as cooking, writing, and doodling. Areas of focus: Complex trauma, PTSD, attachment, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, borderline personality disorder, and psychosis.
