Combining my experience as a teacher and PMHNP for the VA, I take a brain-based, compassionate approach to help individuals of all ages improve mental wellness and reconnect with what makes life meaningful.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 7 years of experience helping individuals understand their minds, emotions, and behaviors on a deeper level. My journey into mental health began with a passion for connection, compassion, and the healing power of self-awareness. I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, guiding them toward clarity and confidence. I believe that growth begins when we feel seen, understood, and empowered to participate in our own healing process.
I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from the University of San Diego, where I strengthened my clinical and neuroscience foundation. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based strategies with empathy and mindfulness. I aim to help clients find balance, insight, and sustainable progress in their mental health journey.
If you’ve been carrying the weight of expectations, struggling to rest, or feeling disconnected, I want you to know change is possible. Together, we can explore what balance looks like, develop tools for emotional regulation, and rediscover peace and purpose. Healing isn’t about perfection; it’s about understanding your own rhythm and reclaiming your calm.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping individuals via online therapy is a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). I prefer to use a combination of approaches, which allows me to meet an individual where they are.
The tools I teach and model in online therapy include active listening, working with feedback, positive self-talk, mindfulness, being present, and healthy communication.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when the person tells me they are feeling better and provides me with examples of how they are using the skills and tools we discuss. I also can observe changes in body language, emotions, and energy. The person will also usually report an improvement in their symptoms.
Clients can enhance their experience by completing homework given during sessions by their clinician. This could include skills, worksheets, or activities.
In preparing for online therapy, you should make sure you have a private space that is free of distractions. It is also very helpful to make sure Zoom is loaded and operational on your device (including your camera).
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.

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.
