I believe meaningful, lasting change happens through authentic connection, a collaborative approach and evidence-based care.
Hello, and welcome. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am passionate about helping adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and evidence-based care. I often work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by worry, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the lasting effects of difficult experiences. Together, we'll build practical coping skills, increase self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to provide a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, and Attachment Theory, I help adults manage anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout, and life transitions by building practical coping skills, improving self-esteem, and emotional regulation to create the life you want to live.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. Healing and growth are possible, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. When you’re ready, I welcome you to reach out and take the next step toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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.
