About
I believe everyone has the capacity to grow, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you discover your strengths and navigate life’s challenges.
I am a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) with 9 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, major life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. I often work with clients seeking clarity, emotional balance, and practical tools to manage stress while honoring their values and lived experiences.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical counseling psychology from Illinois State University. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered, blending evidence-based practices with cultural humility. I work with both younger and older adults and am committed to creating an affirming space, particularly for BIPOC clients.
I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges and build resilience. Together, we will explore your thoughts and emotions, strengthen self-compassion, and develop strategies to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and confident moving forward.

Drawing from my clinical experience and my research with diverse families and caregivers, I approach therapy with empathy, cultural humility, and a deep commitment to helping you navigate stress, identity, and the everyday demands of life.
I am a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) with 17 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life transitions, stress, emotional challenges, and identity concerns. I work with clients seeking clarity, confidence, and practical tools to navigate daily demands, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where they feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal and grow.
I earned my doctorate in industrial and organizational psychology from Capella University. My approach integrates empathy, cultural humility, and strength-based, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed practices to help clients build coping skills, improve relationships, and deepen their sense of emotional balance and resilience.
You deserve a space where your story is honored, and your healing is supported. I am here to walk with you as you gain clarity, strengthen your well-being, and develop tools that help you thrive. When you feel ready to begin, I would be honored to help you take the next step toward meaningful change and a more grounded, connected life.

I understand what it means to face grief, loss, trauma, and uncertainty, and I’m here to walk with you as you rediscover yourself, build resilience, and move toward healing.
I am a licensed certified social worker-clinical (LCSW-C) with 12 years of experience supporting clients across the lifespan. I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety, depression, grief, emotional imbalance, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress. I also work with individuals navigating communication challenges, family dynamics, attention-related issues, intimacy concerns, and job-related stressors.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Morgan State University and use a solution-focused, direct, and compassionate approach. I incorporate motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential therapy, and faith-based interventions, along with skills such as communication and decision-making support.
My goal is to provide a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. You do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Together, we will identify what you need to heal, grow, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Thriveworks offers Stress management therapy, a type of therapy that helps people learn how to effectively manage and release their stress through the use of relaxation techniques, time-management practices, and mindfulness, among others. Relieving stress can greatly improve an individual’s mental health, as stress can detrimentally affect one’s emotional and physical well-being.
Stress management therapy functions by identifying the source(s) of stress and the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are tied to it, then addressing them and creating healthy strategies for dealing with stress on a long-term basis. Additionally, Stress management therapy also helps people discover what warning signs they have that can let them know that they are stressed so that they can be more proactive in managing it.
The effectiveness of stress management therapy can vary from person to person, but some widely used and effective approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and relaxation techniques.
Five stress management counseling strategies include:
Whether to seek therapy for stress depends on the severity and impact of the stress on your life. If stress is significantly affecting your well-being, relationships, or daily functioning, therapy can be a helpful option to learn coping strategies and gain support. It’s important to assess your own needs and consult a mental health professional for guidance on whether therapy is appropriate for your situation.
Yes, stress management counseling can help significantly reduce the amount of anxiety that you feel.
Stress management treatment at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For those with low amounts of anxiety and stress and simple goals, stress management therapy can be fewer than 12 sessions. However, for those with intense anxiety and more severe symptoms, therapy will likely last longer in order to effectively treat their stress and mitigate their symptoms.
