As a woman who has experienced counseling of her own prior to becoming educated in the field, I understand how important reaching out for help is!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Mental Health Service Provider designation (LPC-MHSP) in the state of Tennessee. I have years of experience working with clients as young as 4 and as old as 65. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment-related issues, PTSD, personality disorders, relationships and marital issues, gender dysphoria- or identity-related issues, grief, and more.
I utilizes an integrative treatment approach to match my client's needs, but mostly I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and an overall person centered approach to guide my sessions. This along with my professional experience and compassion for helping others, enables me to provide a safe space for my clients and to not feel alone in their journey.
I am confident that I can help you work through the mental health concerns or conditions you might be experiencing. I also congratulate you for having the courage to take the first step toward reaching out. If you are ready to work together and take the next step in your mental health journey, schedule an appointment with me today!
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is creating a cohesive therapeutic atmosphere conducive to quality counseling, ensuring both parties reach agreement on relational goals and objectives. I enjoy couples/marriage counseling because the interpersonal dynamics and interactions are very engaging, and it is rewarding to help clients reach their relational goals.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling: active listening, boundary-setting, communication techniques, conflict resolution, effective problem-solving, forgiveness processes, goal-setting, solution-focused brief therapy, and many more.
I know clients are making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling from their verbal feedback and progress reports as well as their verbal and nonverbal interactions within therapy sessions.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by spending quality time together, completing homework assignments, and discussing the benefits or value of their therapy sessions throughout the week.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, discuss your desired goals and outcomes. Be open and willing to share freely and nonjudgmentally with each other in the therapeutic space.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples 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 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. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Would you consider your relationship with your partner to be perfect? Probably not. Even the most “perfect” couples have their issues. As you know, relationships aren’t easy and take a lot of work. Sometimes it can feel like a never-ending uphill battle.
Take Vanessa and Jason, for example. They’ve been noticing that they don’t actually have a lot in common. This is driving a wedge between them because they’re always off doing their own things and never spending quality time together. Or what about Owen and Theresa who have been married for over a decade and are in the midst of piecing their marriage back together after infidelity. Regardless of what’s going on between you and your significant other, there is help in finding a resolution.
Marriage counselors and couples therapists have years of experience in helping couples get back to a healthy spot in their relationships. Luckily, these mental health professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Memphis, TN are no different. We only work with the best counselors and therapists because we want you to have access to the quality mental health care you need.
When you and your partner are ready to start making healthy changes in your relationship, consider giving us a call.

Our mental health professionals can help ease you into the therapy process in a way that makes sense for you and your partner. A few of the matters that the professionals offering couples counseling at Thriveworks Counseling in Memphis are skilled at addressing include:
These are just a few of the areas in which one of our counselors could help you and your partner. We understand how painful it can be to feel alone when you’re with your significant other. To prevent further deterioration of your relationship and health, seek therapy as soon as problems start developing.
These types of therapies can help you not only work through your issues, including the ones listed above, but it can also give you and your partner the tools and skills to move forward and continue to have a happy and healthy relationship for years to come.
Here at Thriveworks, we understand that no two couples are the same. That’s why when you work with one of our marriage counselors, they will create a custom plan of action based on both of your individual needs, wants, and goals. A few of the ways that we can facilitate a process of growth include:
Relationships take a lifelong, strong commitment. However, there are some instances when ending the relationship is the best option for both partners. While we will use that as a last resort option, our counselors can help you make those tough decisions. We want you to receive the assistance and healing your marriage (or relationship) needs.
If you and your partner are ready to start communicating better and rekindling that spark, we’re here and ready to go. To get started with one of our clinicians, you can give us a call to be connected with a scheduling specialist. We have appointment times during days, evenings, and weekends and do not operate on a waitlist. In most cases, we can get you set up for your first session within 24 hours of your initial call.
