About
I strive to help others find happiness and direction by using empathy and acceptance to assist the client in learning how to utilize the tools that they need to heal and find peace again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and children through life’s challenges. I’ve worked in outpatient, short-term inpatient, and residential settings, and I have a particular passion for helping adults navigate the transitions that come with aging. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, and I strive to help my clients discover new perspectives, identify their goals, and take meaningful steps toward creating a more fulfilling life.
I earned my Master’s in Community Counseling from the University of Central Arkansas and hold certification in tech-assisted counseling. I use a client-centered approach to help individuals identify what they want to achieve and develop personalized plans to reach their goals, always honoring their autonomy and lived experience.
Life can be difficult, especially when faced with pain, loss, or unexpected change. I know the importance of having someone who listens without judgment and provides genuine support. I invite you to reach out so we can work together on building the clarity, healing, and strength needed to make your life what you want it to be.

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.
Anger isn’t always a bad thing. It’s an emotion that everybody experiences now and then. However, when it gets out of control or turns destructive, it can lead to problems in relationships and with co-workers, as well as the overall quality of life.
People who experience anger issues often feel they’re not in control of themselves. Anger counseling can help give them that control back. At Thriveworks Conway, AR anger counseling the professionally-licensed and credentialed therapists and counselors work with people to teach them how to deal with their anger and express it in healthy ways. Reach out today to get started.
Anger is an emotion that can vary between mild irritation to intense rage. When people react in a way that is more intense and aggressive than what is necessary in the situation, they may physically hurt others or themselves.
Some people take their frustrations out on inanimate objects, punching doors or kicking walls. There are times when people aggressively argue and call other people disrespectful names, give contemptuous looks and make menacing gestures. At times, people may keep the anger bottled up inside of themselves, constantly think about the situation that made them angry or plan to retaliate. These individuals may benefit from anger management therapy at Thriveworks in Conway, AR.
Anger is not a problem in itself. It is a normal emotion that can come from feelings of frustration, hurt, annoyance and disappointment. The trouble is when a person’s anger becomes uncontrollable and he gets carried away, which leads to the loss of reason and rationality. The result can be erratic behavior, violence, abuse, addictions and even trouble with the law. Anger can be caused by internal and external issues. In some cases, anger is directed at a specific person or event, and in other instances it’s caused by worrying about personal issues. Memories of traumatic or enraging events can also trigger anger.
Counselors use tests that measure the intensity of your feelings, how you handle feelings and how prone to anger you are. The reality is that if you think you have an anger problem, it is likely that you do. If you’ve ever felt out of control and frightened by your own anger, it may benefit you to find help to better deal with it. Anger counselors can work with you to find ways to handle your anger.
Each person’s treatment plan is based on their individual needs. An anger counselor will work with you to:
