There is a balance of feeling seen and nurtured but also challenged. I align well with clients who value self-reflection and authenticity. My clients are empowered to create new narratives that forge lasting change.

I provide Telehealth therapy sessions for adults, parents, and neurodivergent clients across Australia. I enjoy working alongside people to identify their goals, values, and boundaries, and to build skills that support emotional regulation and feeling safe and empowered in daily life. My work is grounded in the belief that understanding ourselves leads to meaningful and lasting change. A core part of my approach explores how early life experiences and cultural expectations shape anxiety, relationships, and self-esteem, particularly for those who feel misunderstood, emotionally overwhelmed, or are navigating complex relationships.

Life sometimes leaves you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and alone. You want to make changes but don't know where to start. You struggle to find joy in activities that once brought you happiness. This is not the life you imagined for yourself and you wonder if these issues stem from your childhood experiences? You’re not alone. Many people find themselves caught in a cycle where their past impacts their daily lives. Often the roots of these feelings trace back to our childhoods, where patterns and beliefs about ourselves were formed.

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.
