About
As a woman of color who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I bring a deep, lived understanding of how painful life circumstances shape us, and I am passionate about empowering others to build the skills necessary for healing, resilience, and lasting growth.
I am a licensed professional counselor with a mental health service provider designation (LPC-MHSP) and 21 years of experience supporting adults ages 18 to 99. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and identity exploration. I also help clients navigate career stress, caregiving demands, academic pressure, and the impact of cultural and systemic stressors.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Freed-Hardeman University. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and trauma-informed, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness-based strategies. I am committed to ongoing education and cultural humility in my work.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will build practical tools to strengthen emotional regulation, develop healthier thought patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is providing person-centered counseling that acknowledges the client's perspective and worldview, cultivates a safe and supportive space for the client to speak and share, and validates the client's feelings and experiences.
I teach the following tools in individual therapy: acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, stress management, solution-focused brief therapy, and trauma-informed therapy, among many more.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when I receive feedback and input from the client through review of their mental health assessment scores such as the GAD-7 and PHQ-9, as well as from an evaluation of treatment goals and their effectiveness.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with completion of homework assignments, self-care, and comprehensive healthcare checkups with their doctors, nurses, nutritionists or other specialized providers.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can ensure all necessary consent documents are signed and all paperwork has been properly filed. Additionally, it helps to relax and be optimistic about the benefits that counseling will have for you.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
