About Rise & Thrive Counseling
Our Story
Life can leave us feeling heavy, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who we want to be. You may be carrying emotional wounds from past relationships, family experiences, or trauma that still shape how you show up today. I provide a supportive space where we can slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that are strong, capable, and worthy of peace.
I work with adults and couples facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relational distress, and major life transitions.
​
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, misunderstood, or unsure how to move forward, we’ll work together to create meaningful change at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. We’ll explore your story and identify the core patterns that are causing pain or disruption.
Our Mission
We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive space where individuals can experience the transformative benefits of mental health counseling. Our Licensed Professional Counselor is dedicated to providing personalized attention and tailored sessions to meet each client's specific needs and goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with a national counseling certification and 8+ years of experience dedicated to improving mental health outcomes through compassionate counseling and tailored treatment plans.

My approach blends evidence-based practices with a grounded, compassionate presence. I believe therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and centered on your strengths. Many clients begin to notice greater clarity, emotional relief, and improved relationships as we work together consistently.
