About
As someone with experience supporting clients in helping individuals heal from toxic or abusive relationships, I bring a trauma-informed and compassionate approach to every client I serve.
I am a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 26 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, family conflict, and healing from toxic or abusive relationships. I also have extensive experience providing counseling, crisis support, case management, and diagnostic assessment, including work within school-based settings. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and focused on meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Cleveland State University. I take a person-centered, meet-you-where-you-are approach and tailor treatment to each client’s goals. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based modalities as appropriate.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly seen and understood. You do not have to face life’s challenges alone. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you to build coping skills, deepen insight, and foster healing, resilience, and personal growth.

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
