About
I believe it’s important for all patients, regardless of age, to have access to top-quality mental health services.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 18 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse clinical settings, gaining experience in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, and behavioral health concerns across the lifespan. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Regis College. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach, integrating supportive therapy, solution-focused strategies, and medication management when appropriate.
I believe that healing begins with feeling heard and understood. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can openly share your concerns and work toward meaningful change. Together, we will develop a personalized plan to help you manage symptoms, build resilience, and move toward improved mental wellness.

People who want to climb Mt. Everest and make it back safely often hire a highly skilled guide—frequently one of the famous indigenous people, the Sherpas—to help them find their way and carry some of the baggage. Here, if your daily life is feeling like a long, hard climb up a steep mountain, similar assistance is available in the form of therapists such as myself, who have made that climb hundreds of times, know the way, and are experienced handlers of baggage. If you need a skilled companion, I would be honored to join your expedition.

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.
Being grumpy and being angry are two different things, with one having the potential for disastrous results. It’s not easy controlling anger when everything in you is begging to be released and fight back.
With the right support though, it is possible! Thriveworks Anger Management at Amherst understands how tempting it is to punch back- literally or figuratively. Our Anger Management counselors are here to explore the root causes of anger and help you practice tools so you can have complete freedom in your life. You can schedule an appointment with a Thriveworks Amherst Anger Management Therapist by calling 413-634-4805 today.
Anger in and of itself is not necessarily bad. Anger is a natural emotion just as fear or joy. It is an important emotion that can have positive effects, but only after it’s healthily managed. The negative side effects of anger can spread not only to the people around us, but inside us as well.
The physical side effects are often overlooked, although equally as devastating. Some include:
Just a little bit of anger can do all that? Yes, and it all comes down to the body’s messengers- hormones. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are released in a “flight or fight” situation. Anger creates an environment in the body where your flight or fight response is activated, and your body is flooded with stress hormones.
It takes courage to reach out and is a difficult decision to say the least! If you are still on the fence, look for some of these signs:
Anger can come out at the most inopportune situations. How you respond should be in your control, not in your anger’s. Thriveworks Anger Management at Amherst is excited for you to begin learning new ways to gain control and freedom from your anger.
All sessions at Amherst Thriveworks will be client-first. Which means all sessions will be uniquely designed to fit your personality, goals, and needs. We have many tools to help us accomplish this. A few examples are:
Many people only need a few tools before they are confident in their ability to live a controlled life.
Thriveworks Amherst always creates a judgment free space where you can practice the skills that will take you to a happier, fulfilling life. Thriveworks Amherst anger management therapists also accept most major health insurances. So, don’t hesitate but schedule an appointment with one of our therapists or counselors by calling 413-634-4805 and get the support that you need today.
