I consider it a sacred privilege to assist my clients in finding best solutions to the emotional, situational, and spiritual difficulties they are facing.
I provide psychotherapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and life's deeper existential questions. I know that reaching out for support takes real courage—allowing yourself to be vulnerable with a stranger about what matters most is no small thing. I recognize the privilege of walking alongside you during this time, and I'm committed to providing the highest quality care as you work toward meaningful change. Finding the right therapist is about finding the right connection, and I believe therapy should be as unique as you are.
I bring a trans-disciplinary perspective shaped by formal education in social work, psychology, theater, and literature—an approach that honors the full complexity of human experience. I primarily work within third-wave cognitive behavioral frameworks, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy.
My work is flexible and collaborative. You define what you need and want at every point in our journey together, and we tailor our approach to fit your specific goals and circumstances. My job, ultimately, is to become obsolete to you—to help you build the skills, insights, and confidence to navigate your life with authenticity and resilience.

I believe that every patient’s journey is unique and deserves a personalized approach to healing.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of nursing experience. My career began in the emergency room, where I spent a decade caring for patients and families during moments of crisis. Those experiences taught me that every individual’s story is unique, and healing requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Today, I bring that same perspective into psychiatry, creating a space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered on their path to wellness.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, and I provide psychiatric care with a focus on individualized treatment planning. My approach blends clinical expertise with compassion, ensuring that I understand each client’s unique needs, strengths, and challenges while working together toward meaningful progress.
My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel truly heard. I strive to partner with individuals in developing treatment plans that fit their lives and empower them to achieve lasting wellness. I believe in walking alongside each client, offering support, encouragement, and a personalized path to healing.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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.
Anger is a natural human emotion. It drives us to do better, warns us of dangerous situations, and helps us distinguish right from wrong. In of itself, anger is not a bad thing. In fact, it is natural. However, if we don’t learn how to healthily manage anger, it can quickly become the thing controlling us, instead of us controlling it. Unmanaged anger can steer us down paths we don’t want to go and disrupt the peace and safety of our life and the lives of our loved ones.
The anger management counselors at Thriveworks in Red Bank, NJ understand the many layers of anger. It’s never a simple lack of self-control that leads anger into rage, but a mix of factors ranging from emotional to situational. It can be overwhelming to confront anger head-on, but that’s what a Red Bank counselor is here for. We will be with you every step of the way. For more information, or to schedule an appointment today, call us at 732-606-4469.
The only person who can answer that question is you. Is anger disrupting your life? Straining your relationships? Keeping you from achieving your goals? Are you unhappy or dissatisfied with your life? Is your physical health taking a toll for the worse?
These are just a few of the questions that could go into your decision to reach out a counselor. Whatever you decide, Red Bank counselors want to make one thing abundantly clear: anger never makes you a “bad” or “weak” person. Those are just some of the harmful stereotypes out there that perpetrate the idea that trouble managing your anger is a personal flaw. It’s not.
Some people struggle with anxiety, which is a natural human experience taken to a pathological level. Anger is like that- a natural experience taken out of its practical situations and into potentially harmful situations with unnecessary force.
Red Bank anger management counseling will always keep the focus on you. However, your anger is affecting your life, we want to meet you where you’re at. It won’t be an overnight process, but with the right guidance and support, you can live a life free from the shackling impulse of anger.
Anger management counseling might be right for you if you are experiencing:
This list only touches the surface of the negative impacts anger can have on your life. Remember, only you can take this first step. It’s worth considering where you want to be in life and where you are now. If there’s a gap between those two ideas, it’s worth reaching out.
An anger management session will most likely answer these questions:
In the moment, anger can feel all-consuming. In the aftermath, it can be exhausting and even produce feelings of guilt. While it may feel like anger is helping you break free, it is simply locking you in a different cage. There is a way out. To get started redefining your life outside of the constraints of anger, give Thriveworks Counseling in Red Bank, NJ a call at 732-606-4469. We offer evening and weekend sessions, same-week appointments, most major insurances accepted, and more.
