I help men get on top of anger, stress, and habits that have taken over the same way you'd fix anything properly: work out what's wrong, then fix it right, not patch it over.
Most of the men I see are already coping, holding down work, family and day-to-day life, but are tired of the same blow-up happening on repeat. Blokes come to me when they're ready to put in real time on it, not just survive the next one

Hello, and thank you for being here. Finding the right psychologist can be hard. Many people arrive after trying therapy before, sometimes more than once, feeling disappointed or unsure it would help. You may be giving this one last go, thank you for not giving up and for being open to trusting again. Therapy with me doesn’t need a plan. We can move at your pace, focus on what matters to you, or work toward goals when it feels right. I support people with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, PTSD, panic disorder, OCD, relationship and family concerns, workplace stress, and life transitions.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties can leave you feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to understand or change. You may feel overwhelmed by worry, disconnected from others, highly self-critical, or caught in ways of coping that no longer serve you. Using trauma-informed approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR Therapy, and Schema Therapy, I help you understand the parts, emotional wounds, and deeply held patterns shaping how you feel and relate. Together, we work towards reducing distress, healing what sits beneath the surface, and creating greater connection, clarity, and choice.

My clients often are looking for ways to better handle the challenges of daily living. You may be feeling these challenges are insurmountable or that you are fundamentally unable to cope. You might not feel that you have a good understanding of who you truly are, what it is you want out of life, or what you have to offer others. You might also struggle to draw on the resources around you and make the most of your personal relationships. You may struggle to find the voice inside to reassure yourself that, as hard as things can feel, they can change. These things don't make you defective; they make you human.

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.
