About
I believe it is important to meet clients where they are and be supportive through growth and change.
I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor with 2 years of experience. I have worked in crisis intervention, school-based counseling, and family therapy, supporting adolescents, young adults, and families. I focus on helping clients manage anxiety, depression, panic disorders, adjustment concerns, relationship issues, and family dynamics. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where growth and healing can take place.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Cairn University. My approach blends cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and aspects of play and art therapy. I use these tools to help clients explore feelings, build healthy coping strategies, and achieve meaningful progress.
I believe every client deserves to be heard and supported in reaching their goals. I provide a warm, safe space for open and honest conversations while guiding clients toward personal growth, resilience, and a higher quality of life. I am dedicated to walking alongside clients as they work toward the changes they want to see.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Bensalem, PA is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage 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 counseling for 12 weeks. However, 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. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Bensalem, PA work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Marriage counseling helps couples to work through conflict and improve their relationship. It can help them to work through problems like a lack of intimacy, jealousy, parenting disagreements, and more. Whatever it is you and your partner might be going through, a marriage counselor can try to help you find common ground and be happy together again.
If you are interested in marriage counseling, consider working with a counselor or psychologist at Thriveworks Bensalem in Bucks County.

“Love banking” is a practical and useful theory developed by world-renowned researcher, Dr. John Gottman. When used in marriage, this exercise is one of many that can help couples establish trust and positive energy in their marriage. Thriveworks counselors are trained to put this exercise, as well as many others, into use in your daily life.
The “love banking” theory can be thought of in a simple analogy. Imagine that your relationship is a bank account. Your bank account can be extremely full and wealthy, or it can be overdrawn. Thriveworks counselors can help you learn to see every interaction with your spouse as either a “deposit” or a “withdrawal.”
Withdrawals are any negative talk, fight, insult, request, or demand made of your partner. Couples who are experiencing difficulties in their marriage can have a great number of withdrawals in one day.
These may sound like simple actions and requests, and some or many may even be innocent and not intended to harm, but they are still withdrawals. Name-calling, swearing, eye-rolling, yelling; these are all even more serious withdrawals.
When our emotional or relational bank account is empty or overdrawn, we feel lonely, angry, resentful, and bitter. None of us wants to bounce checks. This is true for our marriage bank account, as it is true for our real bank accounts. Without making any deposits, even the simplest requests can feel hurtful to your partner because they are not balanced with love and respect.
A marriage counselor at Thriveworks Bensalem in Bucks County can help you and your partner understand the marriage bank account, as well as other effective techniques for improving your relationship. If you are ready to schedule an appointment, give us a call. We’ll set you up with a skilled, caring, experienced counselor or psychologist. You could even have your first appointment within 24 hours, as most new clients do.
We look forward to putting our skills to work and helping you improve your marriage. Call us today or book online to get started.
