About
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.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Dover Thriveworks counselors are willing to bet no! Every relationship with have its rough edges and bumpy stretches. Arguments, disagreements, and discontentment are not only normal, they may even be a sign of a healthy relationship. But of course, that doesn’t make them any less painful, or your doubts any less valid. After all, you deserve to be loved and cherished, and since you’re in a relationship with another human being, you might not always feel that way.
The choice to leave or stay is a stressful one. Sometimes, leaving is absolutely the right decision! But other times, your relationship just needs a little help, and maybe an outside supporter. Dover Thriveworks is here to support you and your partner get through a rough patch, recover from one, or prepare for the next one. Relationships are hard work, but they can still be beautiful and full of love. Reach out today for help.
Having problems in your relationship does not mean it is doomed to fail. When a relationship begins, infatuation is strong, and flaws are glossed over or romanticized. As time goes on, routines and old habits are brought to the light. Sometimes, this can be dangerous for you, and if you feel you are unsafe in any capacity, our counselors can help you through any next steps you decide to take. But other times, these annoying little things aren’t incredibly destructive, they just leave you feeling unloved, disrespected, or under-appreciated. Obviously, you don’t deserve to feel this way, but it may be a problem we can fix together.
Some common issues our Dover Thriveworks counselors have helped couples overcome include:
In the end, the concrete reason that draws you to counseling does not matter as much as you and your goals for the relationship do. Problems change, and we are flexible and individualized in our sessions. Our Thriveworks counselors strive to create a nonjudgmental space for growth and healing. Where the relationship and counseling sessions go is up to you—we are here to guide, support, and offer expertise.
Of course, through training and experience, we have many different techniques that we can employ in a counseling session to help you reach your goals. How we do that will largely depend on your unique situation. We may focus on a specific issue, like problems with faithfulness or feeling unloved. Or, we could simply focus on the overall relationship satisfaction. If you aren’t where you want to be yet, Dover Thriveworks can help you get there!
Anyone is welcome to our couples therapy. Dating, engaged, or married—Dover Thriveworks is excited to help you rebuild and strengthen your relationship, so it is loving and fulfilling! We offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances. Reach out today for help.
