Your counselor is a SYMBIS trained facilitator. The assessment and counseling sessions will help provide insight into your own personality as well as into your partners personality. You will learn how various traits and styles interact with each other. We will cover your current and future relationship dynamics. We will discuss many topics that tend to be a catalyst for conflict within a marriage and help you start your marriage off right.

EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly researched psychotherapy method proven to help individuals recover from trauma and negative life experiences. EMDR has been shown to be effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. Unlike traditional therapies, EMDR works to heal the brain at its core, offering lasting relief rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms. It’s a powerful tool for deep, transformative healing. For more information, visit the resources section on EMDR.

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a transformative approach that helps individuals understand and heal their inner emotional world. Based on the idea that we all have different "parts" within us—each with its own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—I work with clients to identify and understand these parts. By creating compassion and awareness for these inner thoughts, emotions, and needs, we can heal past wounds, foster internal harmony, and move towards greater emotional balance and well-being. IFS empowers you to reconnect with your true self, find healing, and live more fully in alignment with your values and goals.

The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)
The SSP is an evidence-based listening therapy developed by Dr. Stephen Porges designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music. As a practical application of Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as a non-invasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to re-tune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration and resilience. The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider remotely. The SSP works alongside other therapeutic modalities, and can help individuals with trauma, anxiety and depression, sensory processing and other neurodevelopmental differences.
