About
As a person who has experienced trauma, loss, and chronic health conditions, I have an authentic understanding of how these can impact your life and how building coping strategies and skills can empower you to move forward.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 14 years of experience providing therapy to individuals facing chronic illness, medical diagnosis crisis, grief, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression and multiple other mental health diagnosis. I have experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. I work with a wide range of clients and tailor care to each person’s unique goals and needs.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Eastern Washington University. My approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, strength-based therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, Gottman method interventions, motivational interviewing, boundary-focused work, and supportive therapy.
I am a nonjudgmental and compassionate therapist who strives to create a relaxed, safe space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we will identify meaningful goals and develop practical strategies to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Because of my own personal experience with tragic loss and early childhood trauma, I have confidence in my ability to create a safe space that people can enter and feel supported while sharing their vulnerability.
I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 7 years of experience supporting teens, adults, parents, and families. I specialize in helping clients navigate academic stress, peer pressure, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. I take a holistic approach to care, recognizing the connection between the mind and body and how multiple factors influence a person’s overall well-being.
I earned my master’s in psychology from Seattle University. My clinical approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered therapy, with influences from existential-phenomenological theory. I tailor treatment to each client’s lived experience and unique needs.
I believe therapy is a collaborative, two-way relationship built on trust and accountability. I provide a nonjudgmental, open space where you can feel heard and supported. If you’re ready to create meaningful change, I invite you to begin this journey with me—we’ll navigate it together.

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.
