About
As a mom, wife, sister, and friend, I consider it a privilege to walk with people through tender seasons of their lives.
I'm a licensed professional counselor associate with seven years of experience working with children and young adults from all areas and walks of life. I received my bachelor of arts in psychology from Liberty University in 2010 and my master of arts in professional counseling from Liberty University in 2013. I enjoy working with children, teens, college students, and adults who may be experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and life transitions.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of healing, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they share their stories. I believe humor can be a meaningful part of healing and strive to create a warm, supportive, and authentic space for growth. My work is grounded in CBT, and I'm currently pursuing advanced training in DBT. Christian counseling is also available upon request.
Life's challenges can feel heavy, but they do not define who you are. I want to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and encouraged. My hope is to help you find healing, renewed hope, and confidence ahead. I want to hear your story, understand what matters most to you, and help you take meaningful steps toward growth and change. I would be honored to support you—schedule an appointment today.

Thriveworks offers Stress management therapy, a type of therapy that helps people learn how to effectively manage and release their stress through the use of relaxation techniques, time-management practices, and mindfulness, among others. Relieving stress can greatly improve an individual’s mental health, as stress can detrimentally affect one’s emotional and physical well-being.
Stress management therapy functions by identifying the source(s) of stress and the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are tied to it, then addressing them and creating healthy strategies for dealing with stress on a long-term basis. Additionally, Stress management therapy also helps people discover what warning signs they have that can let them know that they are stressed so that they can be more proactive in managing it.
The effectiveness of stress management therapy can vary from person to person, but some widely used and effective approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and relaxation techniques.
Five stress management counseling strategies include:
Whether to seek therapy for stress depends on the severity and impact of the stress on your life. If stress is significantly affecting your well-being, relationships, or daily functioning, therapy can be a helpful option to learn coping strategies and gain support. It’s important to assess your own needs and consult a mental health professional for guidance on whether therapy is appropriate for your situation.
Yes, stress management counseling can help significantly reduce the amount of anxiety that you feel.
Stress management treatment at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For those with low amounts of anxiety and stress and simple goals, stress management therapy can be fewer than 12 sessions. However, for those with intense anxiety and more severe symptoms, therapy will likely last longer in order to effectively treat their stress and mitigate their symptoms.
