About
Whether navigating individual battles with anxiety or working to heal your relationship, you don't have to carry the weight alone. Together, we will build the practical communication tools and resilience needed to guide you toward a fulfilling, connected future.
As a Licensed Social Worker with a background in intensive healthcare, I bring a deeply compassionate, real-world approach to healing relationships and minds. I specialize in couples therapy, anxiety, and depression, helping both individuals and partners navigate the heavy seasons of life.
I help partners move past chronic conflict, heal from emotional distance, and rebuild trust using evidence-based, collaborative relationship strategies. For individuals battling anxiety, depression, or life-altering curveballs, I provide structured CBT and trauma-informed care to help you discover practical coping tools and and regain your confidence.
Whether you are working to heal your relationship or your own internal peace, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Let's work together to build a resilient, fulfilling future.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Normal, IL provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Normal is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
Much like our physical health, our mental health can require different degrees of care. If you’re feeling a bit down or anxious one day, for instance, you might recognize that the feeling is only temporary and that you can do some relaxing activities to help you feel better. However, if you notice yourself starting to feel this way more consistently, you might start to wonder if there are any lifestyle changes you can make. And if your mental health continues to suffer, you might decide to make an appointment with a licensed psychologist.
Just as there’s no shame in going to the hospital for a broken bone, there’s no shame in seeking help for your mental health problems. At Thriveworks in Normal, IL, our clinical psychologists are here to provide support and care so you can lead a happy and fulfilled life.
If your mental health issues have started to disrupt your life or are preventing you from doing the things you want to do, it’s a good time to consider reaching out to a licensed psychologist.
Some of the most common reasons people decide to pursue counseling include:
Psychologists can also provide therapy to families and couples. These therapy sessions can help resolve tension and strengthen relationships, as well as teach many long-term skills.
If you’re concerned about your child’s mental health, child psychologists can help resolve issues such as:
You don’t need to be facing severe mental illness to benefit from seeing a psychologist. When you’re ready to speak with a licensed mental health professional, we’re here for you. Reach out to our scheduling team to book an appointment with one of our counseling psychologists today at Thriveworks in Normal, IL.
During treatment, you may learn a number of skills that help you overcome your symptoms both in and outside of sessions. For example, psychologists can teach their clients relaxation techniques, meditation exercises, and coping skills to feel more in control of their mental health.
In some cases, a psychologist might determine that prescribed medication would help improve symptoms, especially in collaboration with talk therapy. In these cases, psychologists will typically collaborate with a licensed psychiatrist, a medical doctor who can prescribe and manage medication directly.
When you’re dealing with a mental health issue, it can feel difficult to imagine a way out. We want you to know that you’re not alone in this feeling and that help is available. At Thriveworks in Normal, IL, our team is committed to providing you with trusting and compassionate care.
When you’re ready to prioritize your mental health, we are ready to help. At Thriveworks, our psychologists are equipped to deal with a wide variety of problems, ranging from mild to severe. We offer appointments throughout the week — even in the evenings and on weekends. And if you call or click today, you might even be able to see a psychologist this week.
We believe in the accessibility of mental health care. That’s why we accept most major insurance plans and offer affordable rates for those paying out of pocket. We also offer remote therapy options for those who prefer to speak over the phone or by video chat from the comfort of their homes.
