I was inspired by my own challenges navigating high functioning depression. I was still performing, still excelling in my career, but lost my sense of joy and identity. Nothing seemed to interest me. I know how difficult it is to carry painful experiences, and to navigate my own healing. Your story matters, but it doesn’t define you. We are layered, diverse, complex individuals. You deserve the opportunity to process, learn, and gradually heal your mind and body. Healing is not linear, and is oftentimes buried in the pain.
Therapy is a collaborative space where we can begin to unpack big feelings, navigate difficult emotions, and work through life's challenging experiences. If you're feeling stuck, numb, overwhelmed, or weighed down by pain, you're not alone. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a master's degree from the University of Michigan and over 12 years of experience. I take a holistic approach to supporting individuals through life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress. I believe deeply that your voice matters—and that you matter.
In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you and creating space for you to share your story. I'm intentional about fostering warmth, support, accountability, and partnership. My approach is integrative and evidence-based, incorporating CBT, DBT, solution-focused techniques, and somatic interventions.
Our work together will be collaborative and tailored to your evolving needs—because growth is not linear, and it's okay for plans to change as you do. Your story matters. I'm here to listen, support, and gently challenge you along the way.

I believe my role as a therapist is to provide a safe place for people to explore their true feelings without fear of judgment and find their best selves through the exploration of their values and the development of healthy living skills.

Because of my own personal experience with tragic loss and early childhood trauma, I have confidence in my ability to create a safe space that people can enter and feel supported while sharing their vulnerability.
I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 7 years of experience supporting teens, adults, parents, and families. I specialize in helping clients navigate academic stress, peer pressure, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. I take a holistic approach to care, recognizing the connection between the mind and body and how multiple factors influence a person’s overall well-being.
I earned my master’s in psychology from Seattle University. My clinical approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered therapy, with influences from existential-phenomenological theory. I tailor treatment to each client’s lived experience and unique needs.
I believe therapy is a collaborative, two-way relationship built on trust and accountability. I provide a nonjudgmental, open space where you can feel heard and supported. If you’re ready to create meaningful change, I invite you to begin this journey with me—we’ll navigate it together.
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.
