I know starting therapy can sometimes feel a little uncertain, so I want you to know this is a space where you can take things at your own pace.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. I specialize in supporting clients through anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and understanding space where healing feels possible. I value helping clients who may feel uncertain about making changes but are motivated to manage stress, set boundaries, or find balance. My goal is to provide tools that guide you toward clarity, confidence, and healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama. My work draws from evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered counseling. I am committed to meeting you where you are with empathy and practical strategies for meaningful change.
I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges and discover new coping methods. With warmth and guidance, I help you build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. You don’t have to do this alone because I’ll walk with you at your own pace toward healing and growth.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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.
All relationships have their ups and downs, even those that seem flawless. If you’re spending more time in the trenches or feel like you’ve lost a special connection with your partner, couples therapy may help you restore your relationship and communication.
Whether your relationship needs a jumpstart, a mediator, or just a little extra guidance and support, consider meeting with a licensed couples therapist at Thriveworks in Tuscaloosa, AL at (205) 539-9994.
All relationships have issues, some more complicated than others. Maybe you’ve never fought until recently, and you just don’t know how to stop yelling or come to a peaceful agreement. Even if you and your partner seem to be in a never-ending loop of conflict, couples therapy can help you break that cycle and see eye-to-eye again.
Couples counseling can help you resolve conflict and work through serious or deeply emotional problems, but it’s not only for duos in a crisis. Common issues addressed in couples therapy include:
There’s no wrong reason to pursue couples counseling and no bad time to begin improving your relationship. A couples therapist at Thriveworks in Tuscaloosa, AL, can help you fix what is broken, mend old wounds, and build a stronger relationship for the future.
People tend to change as they grow and age, so it makes sense that your dynamic would shift along the way. While this can be concerning, it also presents an opportunity to understand one another on a deeper level.
Couples therapy sessions focus on understanding and accepting each other and finding ways to problem-solve together without fighting. Many couples find that this approach improves their bond long-term and their relationships in other areas of their lives.
Some benefits you may take away from couples counseling include:
The skills and tools you gain from couples therapy can be applied to your relationships with friends, other family members, and coworkers. A healthier mindset and peace within your relationship can also lead to improved self-esteem and mental health.
