I am a masters-level clinician seeking my LMHC with 2 years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life challenges. I work primarily with children and adolescents ages 8–18 and strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves. My approach is grounded in person-centered principles, emphasizing trust, empathy, and a strong therapeutic relationship.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Cambridge College. My work is influenced by humanistic and relational approaches, drawing inspiration from practitioners who emphasize unconditional positive regard, reflective listening, and gentle redirection to help clients explore their emotions and experiences.
I invite you to begin therapy in a space where you are seen, valued, and supported. Together, we will focus on your goals, strengths, and personal growth rather than labels or diagnoses. You are more than what you’re struggling with, and I’m here to help you better understand yourself and build skills for a healthier, more confident future.

A good go-to approach to PTSD/trauma therapy is helping clients recognize behavior patterns that could be related to traumatic events. This helps clients understand why they are reacting strongly to certain triggers.
Some common tools are journaling, mental rehearsal, and box breathing.
Progress can be seen through a decrease in nightmares and an increased ability to be around identified triggers.
Clients can journal between sessions.
It's recommended for clients to be in a safe home/work environment for their session.
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.
