I am a registered mental health counselor intern (RMHCI) with 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in working with children, adults, and couples navigating trauma, substance use concerns, and relationship challenges. My approach centers on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful and lasting change.
I earned my master’s degree in mental health counseling from South University. My clinical approach is holistic and individualized, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support personal growth and the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen communication, connection, and emotional understanding.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized strategies for healing, resilience, and growth. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take this important step forward.

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is a blend of Gottman-method couples therapy and solution-focused brief therapy. I find the best benefit in these approaches because Gottman-method couples therapy includes a thorough assessment of the couple’s relationship and integrates research-based interventions, while SFBT focuses on the couple's strengths and resilience. I have seen the effectiveness of a positive approach.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling: disarming conflicting verbal communication; increasing intimacy, respect, and affection; removing barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and creating a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
I know a couple is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when there is improvement in the couple's relationship, compatibility, and intimacy, and more generally when the couple rates themselves as closer to their goals. These changes can often be seen directly during therapy sessions.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by keeping an eye out for when their problems are less present or gone altogether. The couple can then identify what is different about these times, and do more of what is already working. Each client can “catch your partner doing something right” and thank them.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can think about what is bringing you to therapy. Why now? If you have done therapy before, what was most effective for you? What are your hopes and fears about therapy? You can also think about your goals for therapy. What would you like to be different in your life as a result of the therapy? Don't forget to bring a list of your current medications.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
If you and your partner are going through a trying time, and you’re dedicated to working it out, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Counseling in Maitland, FL. We have couples therapists and marriage counselors who can help.
Couples therapy is likely exactly as you imagine it to be. It’s a type of therapy that focuses on helping couples work through any conflicts and improve the state of their relationship. That said, couples therapy can look different from one couple to the next. Why? Because these therapists design treatment with their specific clients in mind. Here are two key factors that go into planning therapy for couples:
Couples therapy or marriage counseling can help you and your partner work through your unique challenges and achieve your specific goals. And the therapists at Thriveworks Counseling would love nothing more than to be the professionals that guide you on this journey.
We’re all human. In a nutshell, when it comes to relationships, this means that we will run into conflict. It’s important to remember that fighting with our partners or spouses is completely normal. However, it’s also important that we know how to approach these conflicts and other challenges in our relationship. Here are some common relationship issues that could negatively affect your relationship, especially if you don’t address them properly:
These challenges are difficult to talk about and work through. Fortunately, though, couples therapists and marriage counselors are trained to help couples do just that. As we outlined earlier, one of the main goals of couples therapy and marriage counseling is to help people work through the problems that are present in their relationship.
Some people ask and wonder how someone who is outside of the relationship could make a difference. When it comes to therapy, sometimes this is exactly what we need: an unbiased third party who can offer a perspective that we don’t get otherwise. In couples therapy, this third party can also serve as a mediator and support system during tough conversations.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling can help old and new couples alike. These approaches to counseling prove to help those who have been together for 10+ years, as well as those who are newly together and still getting to know each other.
If you and your partner or spouse would like to explore these benefits, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Counseling in Maitland, FL. We have therapists who specialize in helping your relationship.
