My ideal clients are women who feel overwhelmed by anger—whether they lash out or turn it inward as shame, resentment, or self-criticism. They want to stop damaging relationships they care about and learn to express themselves with clarity and care. Many seek tools to cope with a loved one’s anger. They long for emotional intelligence, conflict resolution skills, and deeper intimacy. Ultimately, they want to feel proud of how they show up in life and relationships.
Anger is a door to deep, unspoken emotions. With 25 years of clinical experience and over a decade facilitating the Healing Anger group for women, I specialize in helping clients work through anger with compassion and clarity. My approach is shaped by three master’s degrees and my own journey of healing complex trauma.
It’s normal to feel anxious about working with anger. You’re not alone. Many therapists refer clients to me for this specific work. If you’re curious, we can explore whether it’s a good fit. I’ll help you clarify your goals and adapt to your pace, your strengths, and your way of learning. We’ll work in a way that feels right for you.

Groups
Healing Anger
The Healing Anger Groups for Women are now held online and are 6 weeks long. By the end of the workshop, participants can expect to: 1. Understand the physiology of intense emotions. 2. Get insight on their specific triggers. 3. Relate better to difficult emotions by exploring how to manage them in an assertive way. 4. Have a taste of emotional intimacy, so that difficult emotions have the potential not to hurt, but to feed your relationships. 5. Understand the patterns and effects of abuse, and how to prevent it.
