Meet Your Next Right Step Therapy

My Story:

My practice philosophy is to provide a holistic, person-centered, strength-based approach by promoting the client's autonomy and dignity. I believe in inspiring clients to make their desirable changes through support, encouragement, and self-empowerment. I am committed to my clients and their families by advocating for their desired needs and goals through various treatment modalities. A client's barriers can be solution-focused by looking through a lens of love and positivity.

I hold a Master's degree of Social Work from Walden University, specializing in Advanced Clinical Practice. Currently, I am working towards my clinical social work license under the supervision of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My training and experience includes working as a children and adolescent therapist, individual therapist for adults, parenting and family therapist, and providing resource allocation. I have worked with children and families in foster care, adoption, and with clients and their families during hospice care. My background includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, and grief and loss. I am also trained in Prepare/Enrich, a premarital and marital assessment and curriculum based tool that helps foster healthy relationships and love working with couples exploring marriage!



Empowering Change with Your Next Right Step Therapy

Prepare/Enrich Program

PREPARE/ENRICH is a research-based counseling program designed to help couples strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and deepen connection. This program is ideal for couples who want to feel closer, build stronger relationship skills, or prepare for marriage.


Couples begin with an initial session with the therapist to determine if the program is a good fit. After this meeting, each partner completes a 30-minute online assessment at home. In follow-up sessions, we review your results together and complete guided discussions and activities from your couples workbook. Topics often include communication, conflict resolution, personality compatibility, stress management, and building closeness and flexibility in your relationship. Between sessions, couples may also receive brief exercises to practice these skills in their daily lives.


Most couples participate in the initial session plus 6–8 additional 55-minute sessions. Research shows that couples who complete the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment prior to marriage reduce their risk of divorce by approximately 30%.


Sessions are available in-person or online via tele-health and are offered as a self-pay service at $140 per 55-minute session.
