About
As a woman who has experienced many life challenges, adjustments, and losses, I understand the importance of therapy. My work centers on balance, resilience, play, and self-exploration to see the whole person.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice with 21 years of experience supporting individuals on their path to healing and growth. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity-related concerns, while creating a safe and affirming space for exploration and transformation. My work is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and empowerment, helping clients build resilience and reconnect with their inner strength.
I earned a Master’s in Social Work from Widener University. I use an integrative approach that blends cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to meet each client’s unique needs. My goal is to help clients gain insight, develop effective coping skills, and experience meaningful personal change.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where healing unfolds through self-discovery and connection. Together, we’ll explore challenges, identify strengths, and create a plan that supports your goals. Whether you’re seeking relief, clarity, or transformation, I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.

As a military soldier who has experienced trauma and trauma-related symptoms on and off the battlefield, I am committed to showing others empathy and to the success of their treatment outcome.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 8 years of experience helping individuals overcome trauma and achieve emotional balance. As a 20-year military veteran, I bring structure, discipline, and compassion to my work. I have supported clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders across inpatient and outpatient settings. My goal is to create a safe and empowering environment where every person is treated with dignity and respect.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from South University and completed my psychology studies at the University of Phoenix. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, manage emotions, and navigate life’s challenges effectively.
I am committed to walking beside my clients on their healing journey, offering empathy, accountability, and unwavering support. Guided by my military values, I believe in never leaving anyone behind—especially when it comes to mental health. Together, we will work to uncover strength, resilience, and hope for a better tomorrow.

As a woman who has spent a long time learning how to claim my authentic self to empower my personal choices, I use my own loss, grief, and trauma, as well as life changes, to witness my clients' truth and courage to choose their transformation.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience helping children, adults, couples, and families navigate depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide compassionate and grounded support as clients explore their emotional patterns and rediscover their capacity for healing, growth, and connection in a safe, nonjudgmental space.
I earned a Master’s in Counseling from the University of South Carolina. I believe that healing begins with awareness and recognizing outdated coping mechanisms and learning new ways to respond that align with who you are today. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.
I encourage clients to feel deeply without losing themselves in the process and to “feel everything, just don’t drown in it.” I believe healing is found in mindful presence, self-compassion, and consistency. I would be honored to walk beside you as you uncover your most authentic self and build a life rooted in strength, peace, and empowerment.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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.
