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.

Some individuals may achieve their objectives to gain insights and strategies for enhancing their happiness in just a few sessions.

The reality is that people can adjust their happiness. There are no magic formulas or easy fixes. No one can follow three simple steps and then suddenly experience happiness. Instead, happiness is like a muscle. Everyone has a base level of strength, just as they have a base level of happiness. With time and exercise, anyone can become physically stronger. Similarly, with time and the right mindset, anyone can become happier.
If people can learn to be happier, how do they distinguish between habits that cultivate happiness and pointless clickbait? Many people are turning to counseling to help increase their happiness. A happy life is within reach, and Thriveworks Johnson City has helped many clients learn how to cultivate happiness from within themselves.
There is no doubt, other people and outside circumstances affect people’s happiness, but they are not the only factors. In many cases, people cannot control their circumstances or other people, but there are many things within their control that affect their happiness.
The first step toward happiness may be identifying ways people hinder their own happiness. There are many ways people undercut their own joy, but a few may include…
While people may need to cut out habits that hinder their joy, the most important part of boosting happiness is cultivating new habits. When people can draw joy from within, life’s circumstances may knock them down, but they will have the resiliency to regain happiness.
Often, little, everyday habits can may a big difference in boosting happiness. For example,
