As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of how we can impact each other in positive and negative ways, and how processing grief and trauma empowers and strengthens our dignity.
I am a licensed professional counselor with three years of experience. I earned my Master of Arts from Franciscan University of Steubenville and have specialized training in CBT, ACT, solution-focused brief therapy, person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care. I typically work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, and trauma. Whether navigating a specific crisis or pursuing personal growth, I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to achieve their goals.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I draw primarily from CBT, helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical skills. Together, we'll work to build self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful progress toward your goals.
Seeking support takes courage, and reaching out is often the first step toward meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, you don't have to navigate those challenges alone. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment. I look forward to working with you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping survivors of domestic violence who come to therapy is a person-centered approach. I find it important to treat a client with empathy, genuineness, and understanding, at their own pace, as domestic violence and the levels of emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse inflicted by the perpetrator can be incredibly shaming and scary for a survivor to confront.
I provide several tools related to psychoeducation in domestic violence therapy, including:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in DV therapy when they begin to recognize that the abuse was/is not their fault. When they begin to understand that the abuse occurred/is occurring because the perpetrator is seeking power and control, not because the survivor has done anything wrong to welcome the abuse.
Clients can supplement their time in DV therapy with continued psychoeducation and exercises about the effects of DV. They can also engage in advocacy from DV agencies in their community, which can help with legal proceedings or speaking to the police, as well as just getting extra support. Additionally, group work can be effective for DV survivors, as they can feel supported and understood by others who have gone through similar situations.
To prepare for their first domestic violence counseling session, and individual can try to remember that while it will be difficult and emotional, the therapist is there to be judgment-free and to empower the client to regain a positive sense of self and emotional and/or physical safety. The therapist is there to support you, no matter what.
Domestic violence therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps victims and their families heal from abusive relationships. It is a crucial component of the broader efforts to address and combat domestic violence, a pattern of abusive behaviors within intimate relationships that can encompass physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse.
In domestic violence therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment. Domestic violence therapy is often part of a broader support network that includes legal assistance, shelters, and community resources. Its aim is to break the cycle of abuse, promote safety, and foster healthier relationships.
Domestic violence therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Domestic violence therapy can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
