About
I approach therapy as a fellow human who believes in the power of compassion, curiosity, and steady support, and I strive to help clients tap into their inner strength and discover their capacity for well-being.
I am Dr. B, and I'm excited to work with you! I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 7+ years of experience supporting individuals through challenges such as trauma, grief, marital conflict, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I work with diverse client backgrounds and strive to offer a calm, grounded, and authentic space for healing. My approach is laid-back and supportive, helping clients feel safe enough to be open, reflective, and engaged in their pursuit of emotional well-being.
I earned my master’s degree and doctorate in professional counseling from Amridge University. My background includes working with individuals navigating complex emotional experiences and life transitions. I draw from evidence-based, person-centered approaches to help clients deepen self-understanding and build meaningful coping skills.
I want you to feel more grounded and less alone each time you leave our sessions. You deserve support, understanding, and a space where your emotions are honored. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment. You will be welcomed with respect, compassion, and a calm environment to explore what you need for your well-being.

Domestic violence therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps victims and their families heal from abusive relationships. It is a crucial component of the broader efforts to address and combat domestic violence, a pattern of abusive behaviors within intimate relationships that can encompass physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse.
In domestic violence therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment. Domestic violence therapy is often part of a broader support network that includes legal assistance, shelters, and community resources. Its aim is to break the cycle of abuse, promote safety, and foster healthier relationships.
Domestic violence therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Domestic violence therapy can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
You’ll find plenty of articles online telling you exactly what you need to do if you’re in an abusive relationship. While these authors are well-meaning, the reality is that no two people are in the exact same situation. What may work for one person, and what may be safe for one person, either won’t work or won’t be safe for another. That’s why we suggest one solution for everyone: getting individualized help from a domestic violence counselor. If you think you could benefit from talking to a abusive relationship counselor, reach out to Thriveworks in Athens today.
It’s common for people in abusive relationships to believe that the entirety of their symptoms are alleviated when they leave the abuse situation. Unfortunately this is rarely the case. The truth is that people who’ve been through these situations are at risk for a wide number of symptoms including:
Another huge risk is that the person who gets out of the abusive relationship will get back in another one – or return to the partner they left. The reality is that there is such a thing as a cycle of abuse. A person who deals with ongoing abuse can have their brain literally re-programmed to respond to the abuse in a way they don’t emotionally think is appropriate. A counselor can help you move past these issues.
There are a few things we wish everyone understood about domestic abuse: it doesn’t always involve physical violence; it can be sexual and / or emotional abuse too; you can get help if it only happens once or if it’s happened a million times; your counselor is not going to judge you.
At Thriveworks Athens Counseling we are here for one reason: to help you. We won’t push you. We won’t force you. We will listen to you and offer suggestions on how you can move forward to live the healthy, happy life you deserve.
