About
My approach is warm, honest, and grounding—like having a steady, attuned guide who helps you understand what your mind and body have been carrying, and heal at a pace that honors both your strength and your exhaustion.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience providing trauma-informed psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma-related stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I often work with clients who feel stuck in patterns shaped by past experiences, chronic stress, or relational challenges and are seeking greater clarity, stability, and confidence.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Southern Adventist University. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based interventions. I integrate culturally responsive and nervous system-informed strategies tailored to each client’s needs.
Clients often come to therapy wanting to feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to cope without becoming overwhelmed. I provide a collaborative and supportive space to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, develop practical coping skills, and improve boundaries so you can move forward with balance, clarity, and confidence.

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.
We all get angry—at times this anger is warranted and at others it’s not—but in any case, we must express and manage that anger properly. This is easier said than done for certain individuals, as millions of people struggle with serious anger. More specifically, about 22 million people—or nearly 1 in 10 Americans—present severe anger issues.
If you are one of these individuals who needs a little help expressing and managing their anger more effectively, don’t worry. Help is just around the corner—or at the other end of a phone call! The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Johnson City are eager to help you overcome this problem and lead a more relaxed, enjoyable life, through anger management counseling. All you have to do is pick up your phone and call us to schedule your first appointment today.
Anger management is a form of therapy designed to help people manage their anger more appropriately and more effectively. Typically, there are certain stressors that cause one to lash out or lose their cool, which makes identifying these triggers important to the therapeutic process. A few common internal triggers include pent-up frustration, unease, and self-perceived failures. And a few common external triggers include…
When people with anger issues experience these triggers, they often react with aggression or even throw disruptive tantrums. They then look back at their angry outburst with disapproval and shame. Fortunately, however, they can look forward to a hopeful future. While it’s highly unlikely that you can completely remove these triggers from your day to day life, the therapists at Johnson City can help you get your emotions and resulting behavior under control. All you have to do is let them.
Aside from identifying triggers, what exactly do you do in anger management? How does the process unfold? The truth is that there’s no clear cut answer to anger problems: every person is different and experiences anger in a unique way. That being said, the techniques you learn in anger management are designed to help you deal with anger and other negative feelings in a productive way, regardless of what your triggers are and how your anger presents itself. Here are a few helpful strategies for calming yourself when anger threatens to get the best of you:
