About
As a person who has experienced many life transitions, I understand how we are all affected by change, loss, trauma, and adversity. Resolving these challenges restores hope, strengthens our resilience, and empowers us to move forward, reclaim our best self, and make a new beginning.
I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with over 34 years of experience. I support individuals, couples, and families to overcome challenges, improve communication, build resilience, and foster personal growth. I specialize in both mental health and substance abuse with an emphasis on resolving trauma and enhancing recovery. I offer compassionate, client-centered, trauma-informed care tailored to you and your goals, meeting you where you are on your healing journey. Sessions are centered on you, your needs, values, hopes, dreams, and goals.
I specialize in trauma and loss resolution work using EMDR and other modalities with a focus on gentle, effective resolution as an integral part of care. I empower couples and families to heal and strengthen their relationships through improving communication, building a secure bond, and creating a strong foundation for their relationship.
We all need support and care to travel through life's challenges and changes. We will begin where you are with respect and honor for you and your experiences, taking your next steps to healing and recovery in a warm, safe, and comfortable setting.

As a seasoned therapist, I believe everyone is faced with a challenge or challenges that require reaching out for help, and to me, this is the greatest sign of courage.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, chronic illness, grief, and major life transitions. I bring a grounded, compassionate approach to therapy and value meeting each client where they are, honoring their unique background, experiences, and goals.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Missouri. My professional background includes supporting diverse populations and helping clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and build greater emotional resilience through evidence-based and client-centered care.
As a therapist, we will begin where you feel most comfortable. I will support you through whatever challenges you are facing, and together we can explore new perspectives and practical strategies for change. You do not have to navigate this journey alone. I am on your team.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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
