About
I believe that healing starts with being truly seen, so I work to build a space where you can explore who you are without pressure or judgment.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 2 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I help clients navigate stress, relationships, and personal growth by creating a warm, collaborative space where they feel seen and supported. My approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs, focusing on building strengths, developing coping skills, and fostering resilience and lasting change.
I earned my Master’s in Counselor Education from Radford University. I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach that combines empathy, support, and practical strategies to help clients overcome barriers and build self-awareness.
It takes courage to begin therapy, and I believe everyone deserves a space to feel heard, understood, and empowered. In our work together, you can expect guidance, authenticity, and a safe space to grow at your own pace.

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.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Through couples therapy or marriage counseling at Thriveworks Cheshire, you can strengthen your relationship, build trust, and overcome the problems standing in your way of happiness. If you think that you and your loved one would benefit from speaking with a trusted mental health professional, reach out to our office by giving us a call at (203) 349-6317.
The last thing you want is for your partner to feel like you’re convincing or forcing them to do something they don’t want to do. It’s not always easy to decide to go to therapy, let alone when it’s with your partner. Some people might feel like they’re going to be attacked or ridiculed. However, that is not the case here at Thriveworks in Cheshire. Our counselors and therapists aim to provide a comfortable and honest space to facilitate healthy and open communication.
If your loved one is struggling to see the benefit in going to therapy, consider bringing up these questions:
Remember—it’s not about persuading your partner. To make the most progress in therapy, you want to both be mentally ready to open up and discuss your thoughts and feelings. Facilitating these conversations can help your loved one see the benefit of working with a therapist or counselor. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to try!
Let’s say you grew up in a low-income household. You never felt like you couldn’t do the things you wanted, but you knew that your family was tight on money.

You are very frugal and it takes a lot for you to purchase things that you want and can afford. This stress puts a strain on your relationship and causes you to argue often. This is just one example of an area we can work on you with.
