Services Offered

PREMARITAL COUNSELING

I offer pre-marital counseling via the Prepare/Enrich program. It has been the #1, evidence-based premarital and marriage assessment for over 35 years. I am a Prepare/Enrich certified facilitator, and award couples with a certificate of completion towards the end of the program, which can then be used for a marriage license discount in some counties. For more information on the Pepare/Enrich process, check out their website .

EMDR

EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a type psychotherapy treatment that helps client heal from trauma. EMDR is an 8-phase treatment and utilzes BLS (bilateral stimulation) or eye movements for parts of some phases. The way I like to explain it, EMDR helps to properly "file" a traumatic memory correctly in the file folder and file it away in the filing cabinet. Successful results will show a client's ability to refer to a past trauma without experiencing any emotional triggers.

Virtual Therapy

Live too far away for face-to-face therapy? With Telehealth Medicine, or distance counseling, the therapy office can be brought to you via Doxy.me. It is secure, but depends on insurance coverage.

Family Mediation

Mediation is a way for people who are having a dispute to talk about their issues and concerns and to make decisions about the dispute with the help of another person (called a mediator). A mediator is someone impartial who will assist both parties to reach an agreement on: parental responsibility; parenting plans; child support; alimony; property division and debt responsibility.
