I support clients with men's mental health, trauma, sleep difficulties, anger management, stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and adjustment following life changes or injury.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, men's mental health concerns, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, and adjustment following injury or major life changes. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or frustrated that things are not improving despite trying to push through on their own. I help clients move forward through practical, evidence-based approaches tailored to the individual, with a focus on building resilience, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful and lasting change.

Some things are hard to name — and even harder to carry alone. If you're living with the weight of trauma, navigating life across cultures, or working through challenges that feel too layered for a short-term fix, you've found the right space. I work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds ready for something deeper: real, ongoing work that meets you where you are — not where a system expects you to be. Migrant, refugee, and multicultural communities — people who grew up between worlds, navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, OCD, or borderline presentations and never quite finding a service that reached them.

Hi, I'm Belinda. I have worked as a psychologist for almost 20 years. I see you, awake in the middle of the night, or feeling your heart race for no reason, perhaps even feeling overwhelmed by the smallest things. I get that sometimes you feel so low, even when your life looks good on paper. Or maybe it doesn't look like the life you were after. All adults are welcome at Reset Psychology. More recently, I have developed a unique interest in working with midlife women and the challenges that show up in the peri-post menopause space. Learning to understand and manage the challenges that show up is vital to good health.

I work with the following presentations (among others): Anxiety, Depression, Stress and anger, OCD, Trauma and PTSD, Autism, ADHD, Family and relationship difficulties, Body image, Men’s mental health, Philosophical and spiritual dilemmas, Difficult life transitions.
I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their story, including important life experiences and turning points that may have contributed to their current difficulties. I take a transdiagnostic approach, focusing less on diagnostic labels and more on the patterns that keep problems going. These patterns can include unhelpful habits, entrenched ways of thinking, emotional and relational dynamics, and ongoing life stressors. Often, it is these patterns, rather than the symptoms themselves, that cause problems. By addressing them we can work together to build new ways of responding that fit better with your values and goals.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
