Holly has been a licensed therapist since 2012, the same year she was first trained in EMDR therapy, and she has since moved through certification and Approved Consultant status to become an EMDRIA Approved Trainer. Before focusing on private practice, she worked for years as a therapist and program director in schools and community mental health settings in the San Francisco Bay Area, experience that still shapes both her clinical work and her teaching.

After practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a decade and recently moving to Dallas, TX, Holly continues her telehealth practice, providing EMDR therapy to individuals in California, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Iowa, New York, and Florida.

Holly is an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, an EMDRIA Approved EMDR Consultant, and an EMDRIA approved EMDR Basic Trainer, supporting therapists in learning EMDR Therapy along with newly trained EMDR therapists in honing their skills and building EMDR into their practice. She currently volunteers through the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs (HAP) as a Facilitator at EMDR Basic trainings and works with EMDR Professional Training as a Facilitator and Select Trainer.
