About
Empowerment is the goal we will seek together to overcome and manage mental health issues. It can be challenging but support and a compassionate hear is what I offer so please invest in yourself as you engage in this therapeutic journey.
I am a dually licensed clinician who has over 16 years experience in clinical social work. My background includes over 20 years in the child welfare system dealing with abuse, neglect, trauma and individual/family issues.
I have assisted my clients with gaining and finding self validation, self-worth and opportunities to engage in self reflection at their own pace. I meet clients where they are at and highlight growth. Recognizing that each person has their own experiences and perceptions and deserve respect and dignity.
We all face challenges that can leave us feeling isolated and in despair, but it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. As a professional clinician, I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and positive environment that places you at the center of your care. I welcome you and look forward to forming a consistent, open partnership with you.

On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state.
