About
As a woman of color who has known both trauma and healing, I am deeply committed to helping individuals build the capacity to rediscover safety, strength, and self-connection.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges. I approach each person’s story with empathy and curiosity, creating a safe and supportive space for healing and growth.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, helping clients build awareness, regulate emotions, and shift unhelpful patterns. I blend structure with compassion to support clients move toward meaningful personal growth.
I know reaching out for help takes courage. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you as you build insight, confidence, and self-trust. Together, we’ll work to create lasting change that feels both sustainable and authentic.

I believe therapy is a collaborative space where your strengths, self-awareness, and capacity for change can guide us toward meaningful, lasting growth, and I bring a compassionate, mindful, and solution-focused approach to help you get there.
I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) who believes you are enough exactly as you are. I provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and everyday stressors. I believe therapy is a place to feel heard, understand yourself more deeply, and discover the strengths you already carry.
My approach is strength-based, solution-focused, and grounded in mindful CBT. I work collaboratively with clients who are ready to explore new perspectives and challenge unhelpful patterns. Together, we identify practical tools and meaningful steps toward greater confidence, clarity, healthier relationships, and lasting growth.
Therapy doesn't require you to have everything figured out—just be willing to begin. I strive to create a space where you can show up authentically, feel understood, and move at a pace that honors your journey. If you're ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and begin exploring what meaningful change can look like for you.

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. 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. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Online therapy or counseling makes it easier than ever to talk to a mental health professional from the comfort of your home. All you need access to is a phone or a device capable of video conferences.
