My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based techniques that foster resilience and personal growth.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with 17 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life transitions, mental health challenges, and caregiving journeys. My background includes over a decade of leadership in counseling, advocacy, and nonprofit roles, allowing me to bring compassion, structure, and insight to every client relationship.
I earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. My clinical focus is helping clients navigate emotional and relational stressors through empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. I aim to foster resilience, personal growth, and confidence.
Before becoming a clinician, I led community engagement programs for youth and families across Mecklenburg County, developing initiatives that encouraged healing and connection. Today, I’m dedicated to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

As a Registered Play Therapist™, I focus on providing young children and their parents with support in ways that make sense to them.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of experience. I help children use their natural language of play to build emotional regulation, positive self-regard, and social skills. I work with children who struggle with anxiety, anger, ADHD, peer relationship difficulties, defiance, and academic challenges. My goal is to support parents in strengthening confidence while helping children grow and limiting behaviors that get in the way.
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in play therapy from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. Through child-centered play therapy, I provide a strengths-based approach that fosters the growth of the whole child. I also offer child-parent relationship training to support families.
I know children experience the world in ways that feel mysterious to adults, and I often say parenting is the hardest job. My methods are evidence-based and proven to achieve positive results. When your child’s behaviors feel overwhelming, I’m here to help you find support and strategies that work for your family.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. I find the best benefit in using these approaches because they collectively place the client in the driver's seat during their therapeutic journey. These two approaches empower clients to learn and understand that positive change is possible and achievable.
I teach my clients a variety of tools throughout the therapeutic process; however, a few are: communication styles, the power of learning love languages, and how to incorporate what you learn in your relationship with others. I also frequently utilize empowerment techniques through role-play and regularly rely on utilizing psychoeducation with my clients and engaging them in a narrative therapeutic process.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in therapy when there is a report of fewer disruptions in their daily life. As the clinician, I'm also aware that the client is making progress when they exhibit the ability to identify and healthily express emotions. It's also a sign that progress is being achieved when clients possess the ability to cope with stress and difficult situations.
Clients can supplement their time in therapy by completing the assigned take-home exercises and focusing on how applying what they learn in therapy will impact their overall life. As a therapist, I’m also an avid believer in a self-care routine. I always strongly encourage my clients to implement a self-care plan that is feasible for them to maintain throughout the therapy process and after the therapeutic process has concluded.
To prepare for online therapy sessions, an individual can prepare a list of topics that they feel are important to discuss during their sessions, each week. This ensures that clients are able to discuss topics that are relevant to the challenges they may be experiencing and allows them a safe space to further explore how the topics may evoke certain emotions. Lastly, creating a list aids the client in being assertive and empowered to select the solutions they desire regarding their current experiences.
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.
