I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 29 years of experience in the mental health field. My background as a registered nurse has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of complex psychiatric conditions. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, PTSD, trauma-related concerns, substance use, and autism spectrum disorders across the lifespan. I am committed to creating a compassionate, collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Norwich University in Vermont. I utilize evidence-based, patient-centered approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused interventions, along with medication management when appropriate.

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.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
