About
As one who has undergone trauma, loss and life changes. I understand how these circumstances impact life and how important it is to understand, grow, and learn new skills to build a new life in which we can thrive.
I am a licensed associate counselor (LAC) dedicated to providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds, supporting them through a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, trauma, stress, life transitions, and women's issues. I also have a strong passion for working with neurodiverse individuals. I help individuals understand their emotions, build confidence and skills to navigate the world around them better.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to help clients understand the root of their challenges, develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful goals for change.
I strive to create a space where clients feel safe to explore. Many come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we work on building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, and fostering resilience—finding their voice, setting healthy boundaries, and moving toward a balanced and fulfilling life. I'd love to work with you!

I’m a counselor who believes healing begins when we feel safe enough to show up as our true selves — something I learned both personally and professionally while navigating my path toward authenticity in spaces that didn’t always make it easy to be fully seen.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and couples seeking emotional healing, personal growth, and stronger connections in their lives. My approach focuses on helping clients develop self-awareness, emotional balance, and the tools needed to live in alignment with their authentic selves.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of Tennessee. My integrative style combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to support insight, healing, and self-compassion. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals for growth.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are fully seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive. My goal is to create a safe and empowering space where you can explore your story, uncover strengths, and move forward with confidence. You don’t have to do it alone—I’m here to walk with you toward lasting change.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Gilbert, AZ have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Gilbert, AZ will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
