About
Having experienced close family loss and living with a learning disability, I deeply understand how life’s challenges can weigh heavily and the pressure to push beyond what feels humanly possible.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with 4 years of experience supporting individuals and families through times of challenge and change. My background includes providing care in both academic and correctional settings, where I focused on family connection, emotional regulation, and rehabilitation. My master’s internship was at a male correctional facility, where I worked in both group and individual settings focused on emotional growth and resilience. I’m passionate about helping clients navigate learning and developmental disabilities, build coping skills, and find renewed purpose in their healing journey.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from West Virginia University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindful interviewing to help clients manage emotions, strengthen coping skills, and shift unhelpful thought patterns.
My approach is compassionate, goal-focused, and collaborative. I truly care about understanding what you’re going through and providing a safe, supportive space for healing. You don’t have to face things alone. Let’s navigate this journey together. When you’re ready, I’m here for you.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Fayetteville, NC 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 Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling 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 marriage counseling 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.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, 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. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Fayetteville, NC work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Thriveworks Counseling in Fayetteville, NC offers marriage therapy because we know there are no perfect marriages. Marriage therapy is not a magic formula for happiness, but our professionals know that many spouses can work through their problems. We have seen many partners learn to enjoy their differences and learn how to connect on a deeper level.
There are many reasons partners may seek out marriage counseling. Some of the circumstances that have driven others to marriage therapy include:
1) Someone has cheated: Affairs can destroy trust within a marriage. Sometimes, that trust can be rebuilt. Sometimes, it cannot. In either case, an affair is like a marriage going into cardiac arrest. For the marriage to survive, it will need significant intervention and each partner will have to be open to making significant changes to restore and sustain a healthy relationship. Recovering from an affair is not easy, but it is possible. There are no guarantees, but there is help. Marriage therapists have guided many spouses on how best to move forward after one or both partners have cheated.
2) You are arguing all the time: All spouses differ and disagree and debate. A healthy marriage is between two healthy individuals, so conflicts are inevitable. Healthy relationships, however, have five positive interactions for every negative interaction. When that 5:1 ratios is off-balance, spouses may feel like they are arguing all the time because negative interactions are more powerful than positive ones. Marriage therapists work with many couples, teaching them conflict resolution skills so that those negative interactions can be solved.
3) You have completely stopped arguing: Just as arguing all the time can be a sign of problems, so can never arguing. When spouses never argue, it can be a sign of two unhealthy dynamics. First, one spouse’s opinions, thoughts, feelings, and choices may be dominating so that the other’s are pushed aside. Maybe one spouse has given up advocating for themselves. The second possible unhealthy dynamic is that each spouse has been so worn down by argument that they give up and shift strategies. Instead of coming at each other with fury, they ice each other out. In these two scenarios, a skilled marriage therapist may be able to help spouses work through the underlying issue and jump-start healthy communication and connection.
4) You are trying to change your spouse, or your spouse is trying to change you: An important rule for a healthy marriage (and for all of life, actually) is that people can only change themselves—they cannot change other people. Without question, people try to change each other, but it never works. When one spouse is trying to change the other, the end result is never change. Instead, both spouses often feel shamed, frustrated, and betrayed. Marriage should be a place where people experience love and acceptance. When change needs to happen, it needs to be self-motivated. Marriage therapists can often guide that process.
5) One or both spouses are abusive: Abuse can come in many forms. It can be physical, emotional, or sexual, and it is never acceptable. If your spouse is abusing you, it is ok to be safe and seek out help for yourself.
