About
As a student of psychology and an observer of human nature, I know that our distress is not without meaning, not in vain, and that there is a path to transform our pain into healing.
I am a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) with 6 years of experience supporting clients facing mood disorders, behavioral concerns, and family challenges. I provide individual and family therapy using evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I view therapy as a collaborative process designed to reduce distress, strengthen self-awareness, and improve overall quality of life.
I earned my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from the College of William & Mary. I have received formal training in cognitive behavioral therapy and have applied this approach across diverse settings to help clients build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop effective coping skills.
I offer a flexible schedule and respect the time and effort you invest in your growth. Even little progress can create meaningful change. Together, we will focus on practical strategies that empower you to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I believe therapy is a space for genuine connection, growth, and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore the patterns that shape their experiences. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, focusing on helping clients uncover their strengths and move toward greater emotional balance and fulfillment.
I earned a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Loyola University. Depending on client needs, I integrate an eclectic blend of emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy. These approaches are especially effective for clients managing moderate to severe anxiety and depression.
My goal is to help clients recognize and shift automatic responses that cause stress, turning these insights into meaningful growth. By sharing practical coping skills and fostering awareness of mind, body, and spirit, I guide clients toward resilience, self-compassion, and lasting happiness.

A go-to approach for family therapy involves acknowledging that each person's voice is valid, encompassing their feelings and thoughts. Family therapy focuses on the entire group, emphasizing that everyone must make changes for the benefit of the unit. Tools taught in family therapy include:
Meaningful progress in therapy is often marked by a client's admission that therapeutic work is challenging. Achieving significant change is seldom easy or quick; altering habits and thought processes requires time, exploration, and consistent practice in a nonjudgmental setting.
Completion of homework assigned after each session is crucial. I believe therapeutic work extends beyond the session itself, occurring in the real world where concepts are applied and practiced. The therapeutic setting is a place for in-depth exploration of these concepts, setting the stage for applying learned skills and ideas between sessions.
Making the decision to initiate therapy is a significant and empowering step, though it may feel daunting. To prepare for the first session, it's important to remember that you're already demonstrating strength and resilience.
Remember, you're a rock star for taking that first step to schedule a therapy session. This act is both empowering and a testament to your strength, despite any apprehensions you might have. Preparing for the initial intake involves embracing your courage and acknowledging your proactive step towards improvement.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Glen Burnie, MD usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Glen Burnie, MD offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Family issues, no matter how big or small they may seem, are hard. Getting into arguments and fights aren’t fun, let alone with those who are supposed to be nearest and dearest to your heart. Many people seek out their family’s support in tough times. Some people don’t have that. Instead, their tough times are because of their family. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t heal.
Learning to work through our difficult emotions that are caused by our family members can be hard. Thankfully, dedicated licensed family and marriage therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Glen Burnie can help. They can offer assistance and support you as you work through your difficult feelings, resolve arguments, and reconnect with your family members. If there is something that is standing in your way of living a happier and healthier life, consider reaching out for help. We can help you and your loved ones tackle challenges and see eye to eye. Just give us a call.
If you answered yes to some, or all, of these questions, family therapy is the best option to save your relationships. Here at Thriveworks Counseling, we see families just like yours for so many different reasons. Here’s a list of common reasons why people choose to work with us:
The list could go on, so don’t worry if the specific challenge you are facing was not outlined above. There is no quick fix for any of these issues, but therapy may give you and your family members the guidance and support you need to get through them. When families are willing to work together, they can break harmful cycles of arguing and learn healthier ways to connect.
When you start working with one of our trusted therapists, they will first assess each individual family member for their specific needs and goals. Doing so allows your therapist to create a custom plan of treatment that focuses on the cracks in your relationships. Maybe the problem is on an individual level and everyone needs to learn how to work around it. Or maybe it’s on a group level and you’re not sure how to cope with the issue.
Family therapy is often short-term meaning you and your loved ones could be finished in as little as nine sessions. As we have touched on before, we understand that each family is different, and so are their needs. If you need a little more time to get through, don’t worry. That’s completely normal. Our goal is to help you all live happier and we will take as long as it needs to get there.
Not all problems can be fixed overnight. When it gets too hard to handle, that’s when we can step in to lend a helping hand. You and your loved ones don’t need to live like this forever and you certainly don’t want to lose the relationships you have. If you’re ready to get started to make meaningful changes to your family unit, give us a call and one of our scheduling specialists can help you get started. We have flexible scheduling and can get you in as soon as tomorrow. We look forward to helping you thrive!
