About
I love helping others overcome mental health challenges for a healthier well-being.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including correctional facilities, addiction treatment centers, school-based programs, and outpatient clinics. I support children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, addiction, bipolar disorder, anger, trauma, grief, and crisis-related concerns.
I earned my master’s degree in Human Services and Counseling from Post University. My background includes working with incarcerated individuals, adults in addiction recovery, and children and adolescents in both school and outpatient environments. These diverse experiences allow me to bring a well-rounded, flexible approach to meeting each client’s unique needs.
I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering process. I value creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. Together, we will identify your strengths, explore your experiences, and develop meaningful goals. If you’re looking for a compassionate partner to help you build effective coping skills and create lasting change, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

A go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) because it focuses on memories, thoughts, and feelings.
Clinicians teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy:
Clinicians know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they have fewer or decreased symptoms of PTSD/trauma.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by going to group therapy.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can expect to feel relief after attending sessions for a while.
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.
