About
As an LGBTQIA ally and a woman of color, I understand the need for identity, acceptance, and purpose.
I am a Resident in Counseling with over 2 years of experience, and I specialize in working with caregivers, as well as individuals managing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and life adjustments. My goal is to create a supportive and safe space where clients feel heard and understood. I am passionate about guiding people through life’s challenges while helping them develop tools that foster growth, resilience, and lasting positive change.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and a Master’s in Human Services from Purdue Global University. Through my training, I have gained experience in crisis intervention, mental health first aid, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices, which I integrate into my work.
I believe the key to any relationship is being present and meeting people where they are. I strive to provide space and opportunity for clients to speak freely without judgment, ensuring they feel supported and empowered. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping individuals move forward with confidence.

A go to approach for helping people in couples or marriage counseling is to focus on communication.
Active listening and 'fighting fair' skills are tools that couples can really benefit from learning in couples therapy.
Clients can show meaningful progress through self-reports as well as reporting less conflict during sessions.
Clients can supplement their time in counseling by completing all out-of-session homework and activities.
To prepare for your first couples session, you can start thinking about what you feel is most important to start working on.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It 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 couples therapy include:
Couples therapy 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 couples therapy 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.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
