About
As a compassionate, person-centered therapist with more than a decade of experience, I use evidence-based approaches to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you heal, grow, and move toward your goals.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC)with 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I take a compassionate, person-centered approach and strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you begin your healing journey. I work with adults and adolescents, helping clients address emotional overwhelm, unresolved pain, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Regent University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches to tailor treatment to your needs, build coping skills, deepen insight, and support lasting wellness.
I believe healing grows through trust, clarity, and connection. My goal is to help you move forward with confidence and purpose. You can expect a supportive space to explore challenges and strengthen your resilience. If you're ready, I would be honored to walk with you toward growth.

As a military veteran, I've developed the mantra of "adapt and overcome," which is what I help my clients do every day.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 8 years of experience helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or pulled in multiple directions by life’s demands. I specialize in supporting clients who are struggling with relationship challenges, stress, work-life balance, and personal growth. My focus is helping people strengthen their relationships—with others and with themselves—so they can move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. I believe that growth begins with self-awareness and the willingness to explore the relationship we have with ourselves.
I earned my Master of Science in mental health counseling from Washington Adventist University. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices that help clients better understand their patterns, develop healthier habits, and build stronger emotional connections.
Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can speak openly, gain clarity, and begin making meaningful changes. Together, we will work to strengthen the relationships and habits that support the life you want to build.

It is important for couples to understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to address their current areas of concern. CBT and healthy communication techniques can help clients process their thoughts and emotions, and learn practical tools that can help them cope with their current challenges, express their emotions, and resolve conflict in a healthy way.
Psychoeducation on cognitive challenging, healthy coping skills, mindfulness, healthy boundaries, and communication techniques are some techniques that can help couples overcome their current challenges.
Couples who are making progress in couples/marriage counseling start to express their emotions and resolve conflict in a healthy way. They also feel more hopeful and motivated for change.
Couples can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with exercise, journaling, community and social engagement, and self-care.
Couples can create a list of their current areas of concern and things they would like to accomplish in therapy.
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.
