About
As a clinician who blends warmth, structure, and humor, I help clients understand their patterns, build emotional insight, and develop the tools to create lasting change.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and personality-related challenges. My goal is to help clients recognize patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical tools for growth. I bring humor, honesty, and compassion into each session, meeting clients where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Mississippi College. My approach blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and reality therapy with a relational, down-to-earth style. I believe healing happens through connection, accountability, and genuine collaboration.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncertain, but you don’t have to do it alone. I strive to create a supportive and empowering space where clients can feel understood, build confidence, and grow at their own pace. Healing begins with the courage to reach out.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Westminster, CO usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Westminster, CO offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Problems are a part of life and everyday living. Likewise, finding solutions to issues are also part of the everyday norm. Problems only really get out of control when they are left unresolved—when they’re allowed to fester. This is what happens with a lot of families. No one wants disharmony in the home, but that’s what some families end up with. Are you experiencing what seems like unresolvable problems in your family life? If so, then it’s perhaps time to seek the advice and guidance of a family therapist.
Family life isn’t easy—and although our family ties are often the first and closest relationships that we share with others, they can be complicated to navigate. If relationships between members of your family have started to deteriorate, call Thriveworks in Westminster, CO to get assistance from a family counselor who’s committed to helping you and your relatives reconnect.
It’s common for families to wonder if they need to see a family counselor to resolve their issues, but deciding to seek out a family therapist is an independent decision that your family will need to make.
