About
I’m a counselor who believes healing begins when we feel safe enough to show up as our true selves — something I learned both personally and professionally while navigating my path toward authenticity in spaces that didn’t always make it easy to be fully seen.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and couples seeking emotional healing, personal growth, and stronger connections in their lives. My approach focuses on helping clients develop self-awareness, emotional balance, and the tools needed to live in alignment with their authentic selves.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of Tennessee. My integrative style combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to support insight, healing, and self-compassion. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals for growth.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are fully seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive. My goal is to create a safe and empowering space where you can explore your story, uncover strengths, and move forward with confidence. You don’t have to do it alone—I’m here to walk with you toward lasting change.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Gilbert, AZ usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Gilbert, AZ offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
