About
Drawing from my experiences of loss and growth, I bring empathy, understanding, and a holistic approach rooted in compassion and advocacy to ensure each person feels seen, supported, and empowered on their unique journey.
I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor with 5 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life transitions and challenges. I have worked with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults, and I also have experience providing care to veterans and first responders. I help clients address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes through a safe and collaborative therapeutic process.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, along with trauma-informed care tailored to each client’s unique needs and personal strengths.
I believe reaching out for support takes courage, and I honor the trust clients place in me as they begin their healing journey. I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, embrace their strengths, and work toward meaningful change, developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and peace along the way.

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.

Online therapy—also known as internet counseling, e-counseling, and teletherapy—allows people to work with a therapist, counselor, or another mental health professional over the internet. You can choose to work with your provider over the phone, videoconference, email, or even text message. If you choose one of the former two options, you’ll get to work with your therapist in real-time. If you choose one of the latter two options, you’ll engage in a time-delayed approach to therapy.
