I specialize in coping skills for stress, emotion overwhelm, trauma, PTSD, anger management, life transitions, self-esteem, spirituality, relationship and men's issues.
On the outside, things might look fine.
You get through the day, get things done. But inside? It’s a different story.
Maybe you’ve noticed you’ve been reacting more strongly lately, getting upset over things that wouldn’t normally bother you. Or pulling away without meaning to, feeling distant even when you’re with the people you care about.
You might not always be sure what you’re feeling, only that it can feel heavy or overwhelming at times, leaving you frustrated, disconnected, or shut down. You’re not alone in this. A lot of people were never shown the tools to handle what’s going on beneath the surface .

"TRUE POWER DIMINISHES NEITHER SELF OR OTHER" (Mariah Moser).

In sessions, my intention is to build trust and a sense of safety so that we can explore the challenges that you are facing.

Vulnerability can feel uncomfortable, yet when seen as a transition toward confidence, self‑esteem, and resilience, it becomes healthier to move forward and seek a therapist who can support you. Finding the right fit is the most important step in easing stress. Many of us face challenges such as unhappiness, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, sleep issues, separation, divorce, trauma, relationship and parenting struggles, emotion regulation, communication, boundaries, personal growth, caregiver burden, and more.

I know how difficult it can feel to be human some days. When painful thoughts and emotions take over- it can feel impossible to find a way forward. You get stuck fighting with and blaming yourself for feeling this way. Relationships can suffer, and it's hard to connect with what really matters.
You don't have to do this alone —and humans aren't made to. It takes courage to seek support. As painful as these feelings might be, with the right support and guidance, they can also become a doorway to personal growth. Together, we'll slow down, tend to what feels heavy, and find what is needed for deeper healing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost or stuck in a holding pattern? I offer a safe supportive approach to help you explore the underlying meaning of your concerns regarding anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, loss of meaning, issues around spirituality and addictions. After twenty years of working with people through creativity-based processes as a workshop facilitator and now more recently as a therapist I've seen that the creative process is a living thing in the human psyche and that each of us has deep resources to help us heal. Together we'll rediscover these vital restorative resources within you.

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.
