About
I love my work because it allows me to help people discover resources and strategies to improve their well-being and lead more fulfilling lives.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are navigating challenges related to trauma, depression, anxiety, anger management, behavioral concerns, grief and loss, adoption and foster care, and mood disorders.
I earned my master’s degree in professional counseling from Liberty University. My clinical approach is collaborative and strength-based, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques to support each client’s unique goals and needs.
I feel honored to walk alongside clients during some of their most difficult moments and help them reconnect with hope and healing. Together, we will build practical skills and insight to support growth, resilience, and positive change. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

As a woman of color, I understand the stigma and generational pressure to keep mental health struggles private, and my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered to heal openly and at your own pace.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 3 years of experience providing evidence-based, person-centered care. I work with adults and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. I partner with clients to thoughtfully integrate medication management with education and collaborative support to promote emotional stability and meaningful progress.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Clemson University. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, individualized treatment planning, and medication education with a focus on safety, transparency, and shared decision-making.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected. Together, we will develop a personalized plan to help you feel more balanced, confident, and supported as you move forward.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in trauma therapy is first and foremost to create a safe environment for the client to tell their story. With children, I utilize TF-CBT to address their trauma. With adults, I have found it beneficial to utilize aspects of different modalities to help clients work through their trauma.
In trauma therapy, I teach grounding techniques and mindfulness to help cope with the trauma reminders/triggers, the importance of self-care as they go through the healing process and beyond, and additional ways to cope with the trauma.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they are feeling more open and comfortable in sessions.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with self-care activities they find beneficial. It is also helpful to do some journaling in between sessions to further process things or take note of things they would like to bring up in the next session.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can acknowledge that they are taking the first big step in the healing process and come to the session knowing they are in a safe place where they can share freely without fear of judgment.
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.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
