Seeking counselling can feel overwhelming. Years of working with young people have taught me to slow down and respect what is in front of me. I offer services that comfort people and assist them to build their skills, even when they don't think they can. I work to assist people to feel less overwhelmed and better equipped to cope with life stressors.

I work with adolescents and young adults experiencing emotional dysregulation, behavioural challenges, or safety concerns. Many are navigating mood instability, impulsivity, identity confusion, or relationship conflict. They often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ashamed, and want to feel understood without judgment, gain more control over their emotions, and build lives that feel meaningful. I also support parents to strengthen their skills and confidence in these often exhausting and isolating experiences.

I know reaching out can feel like a big step, especially when you're already feeling stretched. It’s completely normal to feel unsure about starting therapy - many people do. But you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure about your next step, I’m here to help. Maybe anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship struggles are weighing you down. Or perhaps you’ve been carrying the impact of past trauma, and you're ready to find relief. Whatever has brought you here, you deserve a space where you feel truly heard, supported, and understood.

After over a decade in the mental health field, I realised most people aren’t broken — they’re disconnected from who they really are. We’re taught to be “normal,” to fit in, and to hide our truth. I created Untherapy Room to help people return to their authentic selves. My work focuses on awareness, honesty, and freedom — supporting you to see yourself clearly and live life in a way that feels real and aligned.

Serves Area
My ideal client is a woman who feels like she's lost herself in the midst of motherhood, relationships, responsibilities, or just trying to keep up with life. She might be snapping over little things, feeling guilty afterward, overwhelmed by the mental load, or grieving the version of herself that existed before children. Often, she's the one holding it together for everyone else but inside, she feels like she's running on empty. She wants to stop yelling, find time to do the things she loves, stop second-guessing everything, have a conversation with her partner that lasts longer than 5 seconds, and simply just, breathe!

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.
