I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most difficult transitions. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relational conflict while developing greater emotional awareness, resilience, and connection. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices that promote personal growth, healing, and long-term positive change.
I earned my Doctorate in Counseling from Wilmington University. I use integrative therapeutic approaches that include cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed practices to help clients identify barriers, shift unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful, lasting transformation.
You deserve support, healing, and a safe space to feel understood. Whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional balance, or stronger relationships, I’m here to walk beside you. Together, we’ll explore your goals, build resilience, and work toward lasting change. When you’re ready, I invite you to take the next step toward your healing journey.

I have been on my own journey, as a woman of color, to discover and accept the Who of who I am, and not just accept the expectations and beliefs of who I should be based on the context of my gender and racial identities, my family, my cultural traditions, and general societal pressures. Therefore, I respect the journey of others.
I am a Licensed Psychologist with 32 years of experience. I have worked in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, correctional facilities, and private practice. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions, trauma, relationship challenges, and self-esteem. In my remote work, I enjoy supporting individuals (late teens to adults), couples, and families.
I earned my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Pennsylvania State University. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, with influences from internal family systems and mindfulness. I create a compassionate and active environment where clients feel supported yet gently challenged toward growth.
I understand that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming yet hopeful. Every person’s story is unique, and I aim to make the process comfortable, collaborative, and empowering. My goal is to help clients navigate challenges with confidence and clarity. I would be honored to partner with you on your healing journey.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
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.
