About
You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. It is the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.
I'm a licensed professional counselor with over eight years counseling individuals and families. I hold a B.S. in Psychology, a Minor in Music, and an M.S. in Counseling and Psychology from the University of West Alabama, and an M.A. in Counseling (School Counseling) from UAB. In 2008, I began as a Residential Instructor at Glenwood Autism and Behavioral Health, serving at-risk youth. I've worked in psychiatric hospitalization, alternative schools (grades 7–12), adult corrections, community mental health, school-based counseling, and in-home services. My style is experiential and fluid, helping clients discover their potential.
I believe it's an honor to enter the counseling journey with someone, treating each client with curiosity, kindness, and confidence in their ability to heal. As a Certified Specialist in Anger Management (CSAM), I work with trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach includes CBT, trauma-focused therapy, DBT, and ACT.
"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." We all face similar challenges—managing daily stressors, seasonal setbacks, or long-term concerns affecting our ability to function. No matter the circumstance, you have the tools to get up but may need support. I welcome you on this journey. Rest assured, by taking this step, you've already won.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Troy University and have clinical experience in behavioral health settings. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based tools, strength-based approaches, and solution-focused techniques to support emotional regulation, insight, and long-term well-being.
I would be honored to support you as you navigate whatever you are facing. Together, we can create space for clarity, relief, and meaningful change at a pace that feels steady and empowering.

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.
The licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) and other qualified couples counselors at Thriveworks in Montgomery, AL aim to do a lot more than resolve conflict and address thorny relationship issues. They also aim to help significant others love each other “better”. This can be done through improving communication skills, building trust and attachment, helping partners see issues from each others’ perspectives, and reinforcing existing strengths in the relationship.
If you think you could benefit from relationship counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Montgomery today for help. We’ll get you scheduled right away.
The vast majority of couples who see a professional counselor report increased relationship satisfaction after therapy (which is usually completed in 12 sessions or fewer). So yes, relationship counseling can absolutely be transformative. And the lessons learned in therapy can endure for a lifetime, sometimes even outliving the relationship. At Thriveworks in Montgomery, AL, licensed therapists aim first to understand a couple’s objectives for therapy before they begin treatment. These objectives might include the following:
Once the Thriveworks therapist knows what the couple is seeking to accomplish, they can work on the issue together, whether it’s conflict resolution, chronic miscommunication, sexual issues, or something else. Couples therapy is usually short-term and targeted at solving problems. Occasionally one partner will choose to continue with individual therapy after exploring personal issues in marriage counseling.
Couples counseling works through a variety of evidence-based approaches. At Thriveworks in Montgomery, AL, different therapists might employ different strategies and methods for reconnecting couples. These methods might include one or a blend of the following:
Thriveworks marriage counselors offer fast appointment times, often as early as the week of reaching out. Plus, we offer evening and weekend sessions, provide same-week appointments, and accept most major insurances.
