As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have a genuine understanding of how we may be impacted by various traumas, which helps me empower others through their journey.
I am a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating emotional and behavioral challenges. I specialize in helping clients work through trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and family or social stressors. Many of the individuals and families I work with are seeking support as they face difficult life experiences, relationship challenges, or emotional hurdles, and I am passionate about helping them move toward healing and personal growth.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Georgia and my Bachelor of Science in psychology. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and often incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed practices to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and work toward their goals.
I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing their stories. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate your journey alone. I look forward to working with you and supporting you as you move toward greater balance, healing, and well-being.

I am an associate professional counselor with 7 years of experience providing culturally responsive, compassionate care.

I earned my Master of Science in clinical mental health counseling from Walden University. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and flexible, integrating evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths-focused interventions, and mindfulness to help you better understand patterns and build practical coping tools.

Healing and growth are possible, and taking the first step is a powerful act of self-care. When you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in Marietta, GA can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.
When you and your partner begin premarital counseling, your counselor will want to get to know you both as well as your relationship. In order to accomplish this, they will ask questions around the following:
If there is a particular area that they feel needs to be explored further (for example, you note that you and your partner have very different spending habits and views on money), they’ll guide the conversation in the given direction.
Premarital counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
Generally speaking, Thriveworks premarital counseling in Marietta typically lasts for 8-10 weeks. This, however, can vary depending on the counselor’s approach as well as the clients’ preferences and needs. For example, some couples might request additional sessions to work through problem areas that they’ve identified in their relationship pre-wedding.
Marriage is a coming together of two separate beings, a collision that aims to stitch two lives into one. Each unique combination of people elicits unique results. There are trends, however, and an experienced counselor like the professionals at Thriveworks Marietta have worked with enough couples to identify the common pitfalls, the unforeseen challenges, and the communication deficiencies present in many relationships, and they can use that knowledge to help you best prepare for the next stages in your life together.
Or perhaps, after going through premarital counseling, you decide that marriage isn’t the best decision. That’s okay too. Even in that circumstance, you’ll be saving yourself from the much more serious heartache down the road of being committed to someone that isn’t a great match and trying to figure out what the next move is. So, whether you complete your premarital counseling with hands firmly clasped or with a goodbye hug, you’ll be making the decision with all the cards on the table and with your mutual benefit at heart. Reach out to Thriveworks Marietta today to schedule your first premarital counseling session.
Recent studies indicate that the average person who participates in premarital counseling is 30 percent happier in their marriage, and that alone is worth going to the typical 5-7 sessions. Some states require that couples younger than a certain age undergo premarital counseling, and, similarly, some officiates won’t conduct the ceremony without it. But whether you pursue premarital counseling as a requirement or of your own accord, know that premarital counseling can be the foundational basis for marital bliss, provided the counselor you meet with is skilled and knowledgeable.
Premarital counseling is your opportunity to anticipate, work through, and plan for issues before you’re in the “heat of the moment” where emotions run high. If you talk about these potential challenges beforehand, you’ll better know how to deal with them when they become a reality.
Some topics you will discuss with your premarital counselor include:
As mental health professionals, we believe there is no time like the present, so we adhere to a strict no-waiting-list policy. This means that when you call our office, we’ll not only answer but schedule a session for you right away. Many of our counselors also accept insurance for their services, and offer evening, weekend, or even online counseling appointments to best meet your needs and lifestyle.
So, if you’re looking for a premarital counseling service in Marietta that can help establish crucial skills for relationship success, look no further. You’ve found us. Now let’s get to work. Contact us today and meet your counselor as soon as you’d like. We look forward to watching your relationship grow!
