About
As someone who understands how it feels to be overwhelmed, stuck, or not like yourself, I know the struggle of trying to navigate that journey alone, and the relief that can come from having someone to talk to.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 8 years of experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am passionate about helping individuals move toward healthier emotional patterns, stronger self-awareness, and more meaningful well-being. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and specialize in helping clients manage persistent anxiety and challenging emotional symptoms.
I earned my master’s degree in human services counseling from Liberty University. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with psychodynamic principles to support both practical skill building and deeper insight. This balanced foundation helps clients understand the roots of their challenges while learning tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
I know reaching out can feel overwhelming, and I honor the strength it takes to begin this process. I aim to create a safe, grounded space where you feel heard and supported as we work through your concerns together. I look forward to meeting you, listening to what you need, and helping you take meaningful steps toward relief and lasting change.

Having journeyed through adversity, loss, and personal challenges, I have gained a profound empathy for those who feel defeated or lost yet remain determined to awaken their inner strength and develop new skills to navigate the ever-changing roller coaster of life.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 4 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, emotional challenges, and moments of uncertainty. I create a warm, safe, and validating space where clients feel grounded, understood, and empowered. I draw from my experience working in private practice and community settings to help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, and issues related to identity, self-worth, and family dynamics.
I earned my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from South University. I utilize approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to support meaningful change. I tailor my approach to each person’s needs and goals.
I believe every person holds the capacity to heal, grow, and reclaim their sense of clarity and purpose. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, honesty, and encouragement as you navigate both challenges and breakthroughs. You deserve support that honors your strengths, your story, and your journey. I would be honored to work with you.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I prefer to provide tools/strategies to the client so that the client is able to explore what best works for them and their identified situation/circumstances.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when they identify the change in their behaviors, communication, and response to situations/circumstances. They will report the ability to demonstrate effective CBT tools without encouragement or coaching.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by learning to understand that therapy is there to provide tools, guidance, support, and assistance, as the client is the expert. The client has the potential to benefit from writing down questions, tracking symptoms and triggers, and writing down details of any situations/circumstances to process during the therapy session.
To prepare for their first online therapy session, the client may benefit from reviewing the therapist’s information, having an open mind, asking questions, and limiting distractions before the scheduled session.
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Have you ever heard of online therapy? Yes, it’s exactly what you think it is! Online therapy counseling allows you to work with your provider through the internet. Instead of working with them face-to-face at their office, you work with your counselor from the comfort and convenience of home or anywhere else you prefer. You just have to make sure you have phone service or internet access when the time comes to attend your session, in one of the following ways:
These options have proven to help people overcome their specific challenges. That said, it all comes down to finding the right therapy option for you! If you value face-to-face interactions, videoconferencing might be the most effective therapy option for you; however, if you’d rather not be on camera, working with your counselor over the phone might be the better online therapy approach for you.
