About
Having experienced many personal changes and seasons of life myself, I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered as they navigate their own journey toward healing and growth.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 21 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-informed mental health care in community and outpatient settings. I work with adults and children experiencing PTSD, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, grief and loss, and major life transitions. My clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, looking for relief from distress, healthier coping skills, or greater self-understanding. I strive to create a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard, and I work with each client to build on their strengths and move toward lasting change.
My approach is warm and collaborative—meaningful change happens when you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move at your own pace. I specialize in anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. I tailor our work to your needs, recognizing there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing.
It's a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they find healing, strengthen their faith, and pursue their goals. My hope is that each person feels seen, valued, and supported as they grow. I take time to understand your story and what matters to you. I'm here to meet you with care and respect. I'd be honored to connect—please make an appointment to start.

My approach is to develop a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship. I prefer to recognize and validate the clients' experience.
I do a PTSD screening and teach clients symptom management strategies, how to work toward empowerment and safety, and psychoeducation on trauma responses.
I see progress when the client is able to manage symptoms and understand the origin of the trauma responses.
I encourage self-care/physical activity if possible, as well as establishing a safe space.
First and foremost, a client should be ready to establish a safe therapeutic relationship in order to develop trust.
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
