About
My approach is warm, honest, and grounding—like having a steady, attuned guide who helps you understand what your mind and body have been carrying, and heal at a pace that honors both your strength and your exhaustion.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience providing trauma-informed psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma-related stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I often work with clients who feel stuck in patterns shaped by past experiences, chronic stress, or relational challenges and are seeking greater clarity, stability, and confidence.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Southern Adventist University. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based interventions. I integrate culturally responsive and nervous system-informed strategies tailored to each client’s needs.
Clients often come to therapy wanting to feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to cope without becoming overwhelmed. I provide a collaborative and supportive space to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, develop practical coping skills, and improve boundaries so you can move forward with balance, clarity, and confidence.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how building new life skills can empower us once again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider with over 26 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s emotional and relational challenges. I specialize in helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and codependency. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, empowering clients to develop insight, self-awareness, and emotional balance while fostering personal growth and resilience.
I hold a Doctorate in Psychology from North Central University. I integrate cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and relational approaches, creating a safe space for emotional exploration and healing. My goal is to help clients strengthen boundaries, improve relationships, and develop lasting tools for wellness.
I believe healing begins when you feel truly understood. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can explore what’s been holding you back and build new pathways toward peace, confidence, and authentic connection.

Accountability coaching is like having your own personal motivator. Your accountability coach will make sure you stay on track with your goals and they’ll do what they can to help you achieve them.
Accountability coaching works by keeping you accountable. Whether you need help sticking to the responsibilities around the house, meeting deadlines at work, or accomplishing bigger-picture goals, your accountability coaching from our therapists in Johnson City, TN can help. They’ll keep tabs on your progress and discuss that progress in your sessions.
Accountability coaching at Thriveworks Johnson City, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Accountability coaching with one of our Johnson City therapists can last for weeks, months, or even years. It all depends on the goals that you’re looking to accomplish and whether you continue to want/need that partner to reach your goals. Either way, our accountability coaches are here and ready to help you get on the right track.
You might not realize it, but setting, working toward, and reaching meaningful goals is crucial to life satisfaction. Not to mention it plays a significant role in your mental health and wellbeing. Think about it: when you don’t have any goals to dedicate time and effort to—or you’ve set goals but you aren’t making any progress—you feel a little off. Whether it’s feeling restless, lonely, maybe even a little self-conscious, these uncomfortable feelings can have detrimental effects on your mood and make you feel pretty unhappy.
What does all of this mean? Well, hopefully, it has made you realize just how important constant forward motion (or excelling in life) is. Now, if you have a difficult time prioritizing your goals and actually getting stuff done, you can’t properly engage in constant forward motion. You have to find a way to keep yourself accountable so that you continue making these strides. If you lack the motivation, and you’re suffering as a result, there is a probable solution available to you: working with an accountability coach at Thriveworks Johnson City. Your accountability coach will serve as your motivator, your enabler, and your cheerleader. They’ll help to keep you on track and in line with your goals. If this sounds like something you’re interested in, give Thriveworks in Johnson City, TN a call. Our providers are prepared and excited to meet with you.
An accountability coach is simply someone who keeps you accountable. Yep, it’s that simple! They keep you accountable for your goals, for day-to-day tasks, perhaps even deadlines at work. You tell them what you need help with, and they’re there to fulfill that need. Additionally, you and your coach will answer questions like…
1. What role do you want your accountability coach to play in your life? Your accountability coach can be as involved or uninvolved as you like. If you’d like them to call and check in with you once a week, that’ll work. If you’d prefer they call and check in every couple of days, that’ll work too. Discuss how exactly you’d like them to keep you accountable for your goals and tasks, as well as how often.
2. What are your responsibilities? You and your accountability coach will work together to see your goals come to fruition. That means you have to put in some work too! Talk with your coach about what you should be doing on your own time. When do you plan to accomplish this goal? How will you keep track of your progress? What consequences will you face when you fail to reach a goal? They’ll help you to answer these questions and put a clear process in place.
In addition to keeping you accountable, accountability coaches can offer you additional guidance for accomplishing what you’ve set out to accomplish. For example, they can help you come up with goals you’ll actually achieve, or in other words, they can help you set S.M.A.R.T. goals:
