See Francine's Details for:
Francine brings a broad and compassionate perspective shaped by years of living and traveling throughout the United States and abroad as a military spouse (now retired). These experiences deepened her understanding that each individual’s story is unique, and she integrates this belief into her work by using advanced, evidence-based approaches that support healing of both the brain and body.
She is a Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapist, offering an effective, research-supported treatment for trauma and emotional distress. EMDR can reduce distressing symptoms, reprocess negative beliefs, and support lasting change without requiring extensive verbal retelling of traumatic experiences. Research suggests benefits are maintained over time, helping reduce intrusive thoughts and trauma-related patterns.
Francine is actively involved in the EMDR community as a Coach at EMDR basic trainings and as a Consultant for clinicians pursuing EMDR certification. In her clinical work, she integrates Ego State/Parts work along with various EMDR protocols and resources to support clients both within and beyond therapy sessions.
She also incorporates her training as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, completed within the medical community. Hypnotherapy supports clients in understanding and managing psychological, emotional, and physical responses, facilitating meaningful and lasting change. Additionally, Francine may integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—a gold-standard, evidence-based approach—as part of a personalized treatment plan
