I believe therapy is a space for genuine connection, growth, and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore the patterns that shape their experiences. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, focusing on helping clients uncover their strengths and move toward greater emotional balance and fulfillment.
I earned a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Loyola University. Depending on client needs, I integrate an eclectic blend of emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy. These approaches are especially effective for clients managing moderate to severe anxiety and depression.
My goal is to help clients recognize and shift automatic responses that cause stress, turning these insights into meaningful growth. By sharing practical coping skills and fostering awareness of mind, body, and spirit, I guide clients toward resilience, self-compassion, and lasting happiness.

Being neurodivergent in the world often means finding your own way– I want to be with you as you discover and navigate your path.
I have spent over a decade working in nonprofits with people living under various forms of oppression, such as poverty and homelessness. I bring my experience as a therapy survivor who found healing both in and out of traditional mental health treatment, and as my work examining and deconstructing systems of oppression in myself and life. The person that fits for my experience is someone who has a curiosity and open mindedness toward themselves and their life, who likes to laugh (especially if the joke is a bit off color), who understands or is curious about how society and culture shape us, and who wants to live their most authentic life.
I create an open, nonjudgmental space, that allows me to reflect your own inherent capability for safety, security, and transformation. I bring a unique perspective to therapy– therapy is not the only piece of the puzzle. I specialize in alternative and complementary therapies, to help my clients build a life that supports their dreams–and nervous systems.
Life can be challenging, especially in the culture we live in now. It makes sense that you may be struggling to feel happy, safe, or connected. There is nothing wrong with you. You've developed incredible survival skills to keep your head above water. Unfortunately, the skills that help us survive don't always help us thrive. I’ve been there, and I can help.

Perseverance, resilience, and empowerment are interconnected strengths that fuel personal growth. I use these to assist clients in overcoming challenges, learning from failure, and achieving success.
I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, psychosis, grief and loss, substance use concerns, domestic violence, and issues related to abuse and neglect. I take a client-centered approach and am deeply committed to advocacy, social justice, and supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Yeshiva University’s Wurzweiler School of Social Work. My background includes work in community-based settings and military environments, including service as an active-duty United States Navy hospital corpsman. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I work alongside you to build insight, develop coping skills, and break patterns that no longer serve you so you can move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is the exact same as in person. Online therapy can seem daunting or different at first, but I find if you treat it the same as in-person therapy, then it can help increase your comfort levels. It also allows you the benefit of less stress, with no need to “get somewhere on time” — your time and work are still worth it, and you can still have a positive therapy experience in online therapy.
Once again, the tools I teach within online therapy are the same as those that I teach in person; there are few things that I provide in my in-person therapy sessions that aren't beneficial in my online therapy sessions. Sometimes, it can be easier to quickly pull up some information to better support or inform something being said or taught within an online session.
I think a client's continued engagement is a sign of their progress, maybe more so in online therapy than in-person therapy. Sometimes, it can feel harder to disengage in person than when there is a screen between us, so when a client continues to positively engage, it shows they are giving therapy the thought and effort it deserves.
A client can supplement their time in online therapy by doing the “homework” given within the session. There is also a wealth of knowledge out there that a client can view on their own, but they are always encouraged to discuss it with the therapist, especially if they have questions about something.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, just try to treat it no differently than if you were in the room with your therapist. If you can blur that line, then you will have no problem being just as effective with online therapy as you would with in-person therapy.
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 attended a telehealth appointment? Doctor’s appointments are now offered online and allow patients to talk to their doctor without having to travel to the office. Many people find these telehealth options to be helpful, as they can’t or don’t always want to leave their house (especially if they aren’t feeling well).
In much the same way, counseling appointments are now offered online and allow clients to talk to their provider without having to travel to the office! Many people find these online options to be helpful, effective, and beneficial. Again, they can’t or don’t always want to leave the house (especially if they’re feeling down). Additionally, some find that opening up to their provider is much easier to do in an online environment.
Being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure. –Bob Marley
