About
As someone passionate about my own mental health, I would like to help you navigate yours with empathy, positivity, and a calming presence.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with 9 years of experience, and I’ve had the privilege of helping clients navigate life’s challenges since earning my licensure. My work focuses on treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, and psychosis. I also enjoy working with couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and those exploring their gender identity.
I earned a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Southern Nazarene University. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of every individual or couple I work with, using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and evidence-based techniques that promote grounding, self-awareness, and resilience while helping clients build healthier coping skills.
My own mental health journey and lifelong role as a natural listener inspired me to become a counselor in my 40s, and it remains one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I believe in creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, strengthen relationships, and discover new paths toward growth and healing.

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.
Conflicts are inevitably going to arise in a healthy relationship. If two people were compatible all the time, it might indicate that their personal growth was stagnant, and no one wants that.

It can be tough sometimes, which is why there are professional couples therapists.
