Treatment Services

I specialize in the treatment of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as couple/marital/family therapy. After becoming trained in EMDR Therapy and witnessing the benefits of this treatment approach, I became Certified in EMDR and am one of only a few EMDRIA Approved Consultants in the area, assisting other clinicians with becoming Certified in EMDR.

 

I offer a range of treatment services, including:

 
PTSD and Trauma Treatment

I provide individual, couple, and family therapy to assist clients with addressing a variety of concerns related to the experience of trauma, such as surviving childhood physical and/or sexual abuse, military sexual trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking. I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist in EMDR Therapy, a research-based treatment for trauma and PTSD. I am trained in The Flash Technique, which may be used during EMDR Therapy to reduce the disturbance associated with intense trauma memories, as well as in the Recent Traumatic Events (R-TEP) Protocol. 

 

Individual Therapy

I provide individual therapy to assist clients with addressing experiences such as traumatic events, PTSD, relationship concerns, anxiety, and grief.

 

Couple and Family Therapy

I provide couple/relationship/family therapy to assist clients with addressing concerns such as the relational impact of trauma, communication challenges, infidelity, financial stressors, blended families, divorce adjustment, parenting, and substance use.

 

Pre-Marital Therapy

For couples seeking pre-marital therapy, I am a Registered Pre-Marital Course Provider with the Escambia County Clerk of the Court. As of April 20, 2023, there is a discounted marriage license fee for couples with completed premarital counseling certificates.

The cost for an initial appointment is $150. This appointment is 1 hour in length. Subsequent appointments are $125 for a 50-minute therapy appointment.

​
