About
I believe that healing starts with being truly seen, so I work to build a space where you can explore who you are without pressure or judgment.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 2 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I help clients navigate stress, relationships, and personal growth by creating a warm, collaborative space where they feel seen and supported. My approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs, focusing on building strengths, developing coping skills, and fostering resilience and lasting change.
I earned my Master’s in Counselor Education from Radford University. I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach that combines empathy, support, and practical strategies to help clients overcome barriers and build self-awareness.
It takes courage to begin therapy, and I believe everyone deserves a space to feel heard, understood, and empowered. In our work together, you can expect guidance, authenticity, and a safe space to grow at your own pace.

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Milford, CT is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage 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 counseling for 12 weeks. However, 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. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Milford, CT work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.

You might be wondering, “Does marriage counseling work?” Let’s understand the goal of this type of therapy to answer this question. Marriage counseling is a form of couples therapy that helps spouses identify and work through the conflicts in their marriage. With a marriage counselor’s help, you and your partner can better understand areas of improvement in your relationship.
Marriage counseling is led by qualified, licensed therapists known as marriage and family therapists (LMFT) who can offer both marriage and family counseling. These professionals have completed graduate or postgraduate degrees and have specific skills, training, and experience in helping married couples. This form of counseling is often short-term: In some circumstances, both individuals will attend and participate in every session; in other circumstances, one partner might work with the counselor alone. This depends on the specific plan that your counselor or psychologist designs based on your relationship needs and marriage counseling goals.
A wide range of couples can benefit from marriage counseling. Some couples decide to pursue marriage counseling to further solidify or strengthen their relationship, while other couples seek out marriage counseling because their marriage is in trouble. Here are a few specific issues that are commonly discussed in marriage counseling:
