About
Every person's story is unique. The process of interpreting that story can be transformative. As your partner in this process, I bring my clinical expertise and diverse background to support you on your journey toward growth.
I am a talk therapist with 5 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and seniors. My practice focuses on helping clients manage depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. This work is informed by over 20 prior years in community health, giving me a deep understanding of diverse client needs. My approach is collaborative and practical, targeting current symptoms and their effect on daily life. I believe strongly that "laughter is medicine for the soul" and I like to bring humor to my sessions when appropriate.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons University. I employ a flexible, client-centered approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to best support my clients. These approaches include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychoanalytic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Christian Counseling, and Motivational Interviewing.
I foster a relaxed and encouraging space where you can safely explore life's many struggles. While I understand the importance of the past, my focus is firmly on your present strengths. I will partner with you to take an active role in developing a personalized plan for your healing. If you're ready to begin, reach out to me today!

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
