About
I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that honors each person’s lived experience while supporting meaningful and sustainable healing.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 14 years of experience providing care across inpatient, outpatient, and community mental health settings. I work primarily with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions who are seeking clarity, stability, and emotional relief. My goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their mental health journey.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Herzing University. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, combining evidence-based medication management with thoughtful education and supportive guidance. I emphasize insight-building, emotional regulation, and individualized treatment planning.
You do not have to navigate this process alone. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, I strive to meet you where you are and provide care rooted in respect, empathy, and clinical expertise. I welcome the opportunity to support you as you take the next step toward healing and improved well-being.

Autism therapy treats the symptoms and needs of those with autism spectrum disorder. The ultimate goal of autism therapy is to improve a child’s functioning and support development and learning.
Often, multiple therapy types from the providers at Thriveworks in Woodstock, GA are incorporated into autism therapy. Individual needs might include reducing problematic behaviors, building social skills, improving communication, and addressing emotional challenges.
Autism therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Every child is unique and their treatment plan with our Woodstock therapists will be tailored to their specific needs, meaning the length of therapy for autism can vary. That said, most kids with autism attend autism therapy for two years.
Every kid deserves an equal chance to live their best life. However, this idea becomes much more difficult in implementation when you consider every child’s unique ways of learning and interacting with the world. For some children, the very things that make them unique can hold them back.
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is thought to affect 1 in every 59 kids. For these 1 in 59, their communication and behavioral functions develop differently, often in a way that impede on society’s definition of success.
Of course, none of this means children with ASD have a second-pier life! Autism does not make kids less of an individual. For some, Autism Counseling is just a way for them to thrive in their worlds.
At Thriveworks Woodstock, our Autism Therapist is passionate about walking alongside those with autism so they can have the tools they need to build the best possible life.
Autism is classified as a developmental disorder. This means in affects many social and learning skills, has a strong genetic base, and symptoms begin in childhood (although it can take years for them to recognized and properly labeled as autism).
At its core, autism affects how children see and interact with the world around them. Usually, parents will see their child meet challenges interacting with peers and succeeding in school.
Thriveworks Woodstock wants to stress that just because someone has autism does not mean they are less capable of succeeding in life. Sometimes, success might look a little different than society will like us to believe, and there will always be bumps in the road. But really, that’s no different from success for a neurotypical (those without autism). The truth is that autism brings a unique perspective of the world that can make things difficult, but never impossible.
If you are concerned that yourself or a child has autism, look for these signs:
Symptoms begin to show around the age of 2, and last in some form or another for the entirety of a lifespan.
There are of course many other symptoms of autism. Every person will exhibit autism differently, not to mention that it is a spectrum. Each symptom can be felt with varying degrees of severity. This makes it tricky for some older children and adults who don’t fit the typical box of autism but still notice disparities between them and the people around them. It is entirely possible to be on the lower end of the autism spectrum and not know it until you’re an adult.
Whatever your experience with autism, Thriveworks Woodstock is here to guide you through the therapy process and start building the life you and your child deserve.
Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorders will look different depending on the person and situation. It varies- much like autism does- based on factors like age, gender, and symptoms experienced. The one similarity is that Thriveworks Woodstock always practices a client-first mentality. Your goals, fears, and struggles will be our main priority.
That’s not to say our Autism Counselors don’t have a few methods that can help us meet your goals. In an Autism Therapy session, a Thriveworks Woodstock counselor might:
This is a limited list, and if you have any questions about autism or autism therapy, please give Thriveworks Woodstock a call! We are more than happy to answer your questions.
As always when it comes to mental and behavioral health, it is important to see a counselor quickly after you recognize the signs. The methods used in Therapy for Autism will be helpful no matter your position in life, but the earlier we start, the better we are setting you or your child up for the future!
Autism diagnosis come with a lot of scary and confusing questions. Where do we go from here? Is there even any hope to live a normal life? What about the financial costs? What’s the next step?
Thriveworks Woodstock understands the concern and love rooted behind all of those questions. And they’re valid questions! Autism is neither preventable nor curable, which means that there most likely will be a lifetime of managing symptoms. But this does not have to be an exhausting or all-consuming task. The vast majority of people living with autism manage to do so fully and happily. It will be different, but as autism teaches us, different doesn’t mean bad.
Thriveworks Woodstock is more than happy to walk with you through any other questions you might have. We are excited to meet you and begin building a life you and your child can thrive in.
