Introduction

I would love the opportunity to meet you and walk alongside you on your journey toward greater balance, health, and wholeness. At Thrivepoint Counseling, my team and I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can build the tools, self-awareness, and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your relationship, or your child or teen, we want to help you find a therapist whose approach fits your needs. My own work focuses on individuals and couples navigating life transitions, healing from trauma, or feeling stuck in painful relational patterns. I offer EMDR therapy to support healing from past experiences. In my work with couples, I draw from the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners reconnect, improve communication, navigate conflict, and rebuild trust and emotional intimacy. Together, we’ll explore your story, recognize your strengths, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Thrivepoint Counseling also offers the opportunity to work with other caring therapists on our team, each bringing their own strengths, perspectives, and areas of focus. Our team supports preteens, teens, and adults, as well as couples and families. You’re welcome to reach out about working with me or another member of our team, and we can help you explore who may be the best fit. Taking the first step toward support can feel vulnerable, and you don’t have to have everything figure
