About
As a single mother who has faced the challenges of postpartum depression and anxiety, I know firsthand how overwhelming life’s transitions can feel.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience supporting clients through major life transitions. I primarily work with women navigating relationship challenges, divorce, postpartum stress, low confidence, and periods of uncertainty. My clients come to therapy seeking clarity, stability, and meaningful change, and I help them build the insight and confidence needed to move forward with purpose.
I earned my master’s in social work from Barry University. I use a solution-focused, strength-based approach that helps clients clarify what is working, identify goals, and take practical steps toward lasting progress. My work encourages alignment, self-growth, and a deeper sense of control over the path ahead.
If you are ready to look within and take the first step, we can work together to help you create the life you want. Therapy moves at your pace—we may laugh, cry, reflect, and grow along the way. You do not have to do this alone. Reach out when you are ready, and let’s begin your transformation together.

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.
