I am the Anger Management Specialist (CAMS-l) and Program Director for the outpatient program of Life Line Counseling Center in Northern Virginia. I am successfully working in making an impact in counseling for anger management, depression, anxiety, relapse prevention and addictive behaviors.

I have an extensive background with the court system 27 + years, graduated with a Master of Science in Criminal Justice and Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS-l). I am a member of the National Anger Management Association (NAMA) offer English and Español. Most of my professional experience have been in different nonprofit organization in New York City, worked many years in Albert Einstein College of Medicine-Montefiore and for the NYC corrections. Relocated to Northern Virginia after meeting my current husband in 2015 and currently works at Life Line Counseling Center.

My specialties include working with substance abuse addiction, anger management for individuals ages from adolescents/teenagers/adults, gender dysphoria, working with relationships, and anxiety. In addition, I offer a mandated comprehensive safety treatment plan to those found operating a vehicle while intoxicated (reckless/aggressive driver/ASAP, programs (DUI,DIP, drug possession,IOP, etc.), domestic violence and all court ordered classes mandated by parole/probation department). Allow me to teach you, how positively you can manage your stress, anger, overwhelming emotions and negative thoughts. There is hope and I can guide you on how to create new patterns of behaviors to achieve goals and live a healthy life in order to restore your quality of life and mental health.

Some people respond to feelings of anger by becoming violent, medicating themselves with alcohol or other drugs. Don't let anger take control ! we all deal with anger in our lives, whether it be in a subtle or violent manner, the good news is that anger can be managed.
