About
As a licensed therapist, I believe that the best work is done in partnership with my clients, and together we can create and accomplish goals that improve mental health and well-being.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in helping clients manage bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, depression, and anxiety. I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore their emotions, build coping skills, and move toward emotional balance and self-empowerment.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. My approach incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify patterns, regulate emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies.
I bring empathy, patience, and genuine understanding to every session. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience happiness and fulfillment. Together, we’ll work toward developing the tools and mindset needed to overcome challenges and create lasting positive change.

When I begin working with clients in PTSD or trauma therapy, I create an environment that is safe, honest, and empowering for my clients. I find the best benefit in building rapport and developing coping skills with my clients. Before a clinician digs deep with a client, the client must be shown respect and dignity and learn coping skills so they are enabled to dig deep safely.
I teach the following in PTSD/trauma therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when the client is setting healthy boundaries with others, uses coping skills on a regular basis, uses self-regulating skills, and is consistently making healthy choices in their life.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by following up with the work assigned to them by their clinician. Also, clients who are able to find healthy support in their lives have a good success rate.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can focus on their breathing to stay calm, have some type of fidget that is not too distracting during sessions, and remind themselves they will be in a safe place. There is no rush; we will take this journey at their pace.
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
