About
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 skills can empower us once again.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 19 years of experience. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment that promotes healing and personal growth while helping clients reconnect with their strengths, rebuild trust in themselves, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Avila University. My approach blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help clients gain insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change that supports emotional well-being and lasting transformation.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. I hope to offer a safe and empowering space where you can reflect, grow, and move forward at your own pace. Together, we can build the clarity, confidence, and peace you’ve been seeking.

Life isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. We all go through difficult times in our lives that make us feel sad. It’s completely normal to feel down, for example, when a loved one dies or when you’re passed over for a promotion you really wanted.
For many of us, we may grieve for a while and then start to move on with our lives. The sad times may even lead to a greater appreciation for the good parts of life.
But for some, these dark feelings and moods last for longer than normal. You might be caught in a spiral of darkness and negativity that lasts for weeks, months, or even years.
If you’ve felt down for a long time, or you frequently feel sad in a way that is interfering with your life, then you might be suffering from depression. Depressive disorders can be overwhelming and it can be hard to know where to turn. Thankfully, mental health professionals are trained in treating depression and its symptoms.
We want you to know that support is available. If you want to speak with a therapist or counselor, call our office at Thriveworks Counseling in Lawrence, KS today. Someone from our scheduling team will help you get started.

Are you struggling with symptoms of depression? Working with a mental health professional can help. Call our office today at Thriveworks Counseling in Lawrence, KS to schedule your first appointment.
Mental health professionals like therapists and counselors are experts in treating depression symptoms. During your first session, your provider will get to know you and will ask questions about your issues, symptoms, and concerns. Your therapist or counselor will use this information to create a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your mental health goals.
They may use a number of therapeutic techniques to do this. Psychotherapy is one of the most common methods used to treat depression and its symptoms. Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy involves therapist-guided discussions about your issues that aim to help you understand your depression and mitigate its symptoms.
One common form is called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is used to treat many different issues including anxiety, depression, OCD, and eating disorders. CBT focuses on challenging and changing negative thoughts. You’ll learn about how your thoughts and emotions impact your life and how to interrupt negative thought patterns.
