Welcome! I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy within my private practice, offering services to young adults, adults, couples, and groups. In therapy, we embark on a journey to deepen our understanding of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Many individuals I work with express feelings of inadequacy, guilt/shame, anger, fear of confrontation, and a tendency towards people-pleasing. These emotions can manifest, impacting various aspects of their lives such as work dynamics, relationships, and self-perception. Together, we explore these patterns and emotions, possibly rooted in the unconscious, to foster healing and growth.

Deep down, you know life can be better. You've done your best to keep it together in spite of how difficult it seems to do and be your best. You may have endured stigma for being "different," or experienced bullying or neglect. You may be struggling in a family relationship or with your partner because you or the other person is neurodivergent or from a different culture. You might be dealing with debilitating fear, worry, anger, shame, and sadness, wondering if life has to always be this hard. Deep inside you, though, there's a small voice of hope that says you can do better than just "making do."

Anger Management Counsellors
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.
