About
I believe it is a privilege to walk alongside individuals in their healing journey by creating a space where they feel seen and heard, honoring every part of their story, and supporting them in using their strengths to take one intentional step at a time toward meaningful change and new ways of living.
I am a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with over 31 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I work with individuals, couples, teens, young adults, and adults age 65 and older navigating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma histories, grief and loss, life transitions, relational challenges, and work-life balance concerns.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Iowa. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and practical. I integrate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies to support emotional regulation, reduce distress, and strengthen insight.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, you do not have to navigate it alone. I believe healing happens through connection, patience, and compassion. When you are ready, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward balance, healing, and meaningful change.

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
