About
I’ve learned that having a safe, judgment-free space to explore your experience can be crucial in times of stress.
I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor resident in the State of Florida. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and age groups who may be navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, cultural struggles, or workplace concerns. I focus on helping clients build the tools and skills they need to cope with stress while also exploring the deeper issues impacting their emotional and mental well-being.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from National Louis University. My approach to care is holistic and integrative, blending evidence-based techniques with client-centered support. I believe every person knows themselves best, so I tailor therapy to meet individual needs and preferences in a safe, healing environment.
I am committed to walking alongside you as you work toward healing and growth. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, grief, depression, or life transitions. I will provide a supportive space where you feel heard and empowered. Together, we can create healthier patterns and meaningful change so you can move forward with confidence.

I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern with 24 years of experience supporting trauma survivors, including those affected by sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, and homicide. I also work with clients managing anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each client’s journey. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where humor, vulnerability, and healing can coexist as clients move toward a more fulfilling life.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University. My integrative approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, crisis intervention theory, and a strengths-based perspective.

Life can feel overwhelming, and we all need community—especially during difficult times. Reaching out for help is a brave step. My goal is to provide a compassionate, empowering space where clients can rediscover their resilience and begin writing new chapters of healing, clarity, and growth.

I have found helping people via online therapy starts with discovering their comfort zone with computers and virtual services. For people who are new to online therapy, a brief description of its benefits and limitations is often helpful. One of the greatest benefits of online therapy is making counseling accessible to individuals who cannot come to the office — whether due to transportation, tight schedules, mobility needs, lack of local in-person counselors, illness, or to help the person who is fearful of leaving their home develop skills to do so.
I practice many of the same therapies online that I practice in office sessions with people, even EMDR and A.R.T.! I also teach people tools to help them in their daily interactions, tools like:
One of the ways I know a person is making meaningful progress in online therapy is when I hear a positive shift in their voice, or I see that their face appears more relaxed and uplifted. These changes can be difficult to observe online sometimes, and then I rely on other signals that a person is feeling better. It may be as subtle as a casual remark that they tried something new, or even felt angry when they were previously emotionally shut down. Progress is revealed in many different ways.
One of the most effective ways to supplement online therapy during personal time is simply to practice and rehearse what was learned in therapy. Learning new ways of thinking, communicating, parenting, etc. is great. However, there is no measurable change until the knowledge is put into practice. Change requires practice.
A successful first online therapy session starts before the appointment begins. Check the device you plan to use and have a backup device, just in case. Also, consider the following:
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.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.

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.
