About
I believe there is no one right way to live a good life, and therapy helps us learn what keeps us healthy, strong, and happy by helping us gain tools to cope with what we cannot control.
I am a registered clinical social worker intern (RCSWI) with 5 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults across private practice, treatment centers, and community-based settings. I support individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, family challenges, and major life transitions, with a focus on helping clients feel more balanced and supported. My approach is caring, respectful, and strength-based, with an emphasis on setting clear, realistic goals and building practical skills for everyday life.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Georgia. I utilize evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and motivational interviewing.
Beginning therapy takes courage, and I believe every person who enters therapy has the capacity to grow and heal with the right support. I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where we work together at your pace to foster self-acceptance, build healthy habits, and move toward meaningful change. You do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

I bring a compassion and a nonjudgmental approach as we work together, combining both professional training and lived experience. I'm here to listen, meet you where you are, and help make changes that feel genuinely right for your life.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Counselor with over 20 years of experience in behavioral health, working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with children, families, and adults. I have a passion for teaching and have had the privilege of supervising students and teaching at the Academy for Addiction Professionals. I typically work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, anger, bereavement, life transitions, and relationship challenges who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I tailor my approach to each person's needs, blending CBT, DBT, person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Internal Family Systems with a client-centered style. Together, we can build healthy coping skills, explore patterns holding you back, and make changes that feel realistic and meaningful.
Seeking help takes courage and is an important first step toward healing and growth. It's easy to get caught up in autopilot and forget to focus on yourself. In our work together, we'll build a supportive relationship where you can explore your feelings, notice where you feel stuck, and create space for positive change.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My approach for assisting individuals with PTSD/trauma is to use trauma-focused CBT, mindfulness practices, and guided imagery. The benefit of treating trauma/PTSD is to help the client resolve the uncomfortable symptomology associated with trauma events.
I provide psychoeducation on the symptomology of trauma. I explore the mind and body connection associated with trauma symptoms with the client. Coping skills and tools are also encouraged to help the client manage trauma-related symptoms.
I know a client is making therapeutic progress when they begin to experience emotional stability, such as managing intense emotions utilizing healthy coping skills. The client's symptomology will decrease, including a decrease in hypervigilance, more intuitive thoughts, improved sleep hygiene, improved startle response, and decreased 'on edge' reactions. Clients will also be able to identify the triggers related to the trauma.
I recommend that the client explore EMDR therapy as a supplement to talk therapy.
I recommend connecting with a therapist you feel comfortable with. Rapport and trust are very important in your therapeutic growth.
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.
