Therapy to empower, flourish and thrive.
Welcome to Thrive Counseling & Wellness, P.C.
About Thrive
In 2018, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis after two years of misdiagnoses and frustration. That experience inspired me to support others facing similar challenges within the healthcare system. I understand, from a patient’s perspective, how exhausting it can be to search for answers, feel unheard, and struggle to trust the care you receive. I help clients process the emotions that come with a medical diagnosis, adjust to life with chronic illness, and develop practical tools for coping with symptoms and medical anxiety. Drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), I support clients in building skills to manage distress, communicate their needs, and navigate daily life with greater confidence.
Therapy Provided By Humans, Not AI
While AI "therapy bots" can be a great coach in between sessions, they are not actual therapists. One of the strongest indicators of positive treatment outcomes is the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client (Saxler, E., et al. (2024). Therapeutic alliance in individual adult psychotherapy: a systematic review of conceptualizations and measures. Frontiers in Psychology, 15.).
We want you to feel cared for and free to express yourself and your needs. Your therapy sessions are personal, and we believe they should stay that way. Rather than relying on large therapy platforms, AI note-taking tools, or session-recording technology, we work directly with clients through a private practice model. This approach reduces the number of third parties involved in your care and allows for a more personal, confidential therapeutic experience.
