Anger Management Therapists in 80209

Changes in life can cause feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, insecurity, and lack of direction. They may create a struggle within your personal identity as you move through life and have new experiences. Despite these challenges, you are trying your best to keep your head above water. But there's a feeling in you that wants more from life. You want to connect with others, develop deep and lasting relationships, form a stronger sense of self, and be confident in who you are. You want to feel empowered - to feel strong, self-reliant, and in control of your life!

I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, negative thought patterns, work-related stress, perfectionism, life transitions, low self-esteem, complex family dynamics, and more. My approach combines psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral techniques, focusing on understanding the patterns in your life, uncovering unconscious motivations, and supporting you in making meaningful changes.

Each of us experiences moments in life when we are not sure what path to take. We may feel disconnected from our values, distant from those we most want to be close to, and out of balance in our daily rhythm. In the midst of overwhelm, we know something needs to change yet we may not easily see what that is. It may also be that we know what we want to change but we encounter challenges from others or from seemingly immovable obstacles in our world. At times like these, we need a wingman; someone who knows how to help us utilize our strengths so we can chart a course toward what matters most. I would be honored to be your wingman.

Relationships can be easy! Are you dealing with chronic conflict, sexual incompatibility or potential separation? Do you feel like a roommate with your spouse? I can help. Through our work together, you will feel more connected to your partner, communicate more effectively, and create a better sex life. I'm also able to support you through life transitions such as premarital counseling, pregnancy, grief/loss, and infidelity recovery. For those who wish to separate, I can act as a guide through a peaceful separation/divorce. No matter the type of relationship, I'm here to provide guidance and support.

Does it feel like you have a weight on your chest? Do you feel like you sacrifice or push relationships away because you isolate yourself from others. We can often times feel like no one understand what we are going through so we may hold things in.

Do you struggle to get out of bed or motivate yourself to face the world because life itself feels too exhausting and overwhelming? Is it almost impossible to experience joy or pleasure without feeling like there’s some existential “other shoe” ready to drop and ruin everything? Perhaps you’ve withdrawn from family and friends to spare them the heaviness that weighs you down. And though they want you to open up, you can’t conceive of your loved ones understanding—because not even you do—but you’re hoping therapy can help make sense of it all.

Rachael currently has Tues and Wednesday afternoon and evening in-person availability for new clients utlizing insurance or private pay. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the golden standard for helping people recognize and better manage thinking patterns that may feel like traps. Regulating our emotions and physical responses can be challenging, and therapy can be a safe space to explore new ways of doing this. We strive to provide concrete tools to help you process and cope with your experiences in healthier ways.

Do you feel like you're fighting a constant battle just to feel okay? Maybe you're grappling with your self worth, or the unresolved hurt and trauma from past experiences. Maybe you're trying to find your way through a period of change and transition. Whatever your unique struggle is, you don't have to go through it alone.

When we experience anxiety and stress it is not uncommon to feel like our lives are unraveling and we are no longer in control.

I help them strengthen their relationships so they begin to feel more capable and safe with who they are and what they do.

**Currently full - not accepting new clients** Life satisfaction is most closely correlated to the quality of relationships you have with others & most importantly, the quality of relationship you have with yourself. These can both be improved by better understanding your past & adapting how you respond in the present. Together, we practice new ways of experiencing difficult emotions to make them more manageable & less threatening. We will explore & better understand the stories you hold of who you ARE, who you SHOULD be, & how these formed over time which can result in increased self-understanding & self-compassion.

I know how difficult the search for a therapist can be. It feels like there's a lot riding on making the right choice, but there's so much uncertainty about what the right choice even entails. Of course you want a professional who seems qualified to address your specific areas of struggle, but it seems to me that the most healing aspect of therapy is the experience of feeling comfortable enough to be radically open with a therapist who you perceive to be compassionate, nonjudgmental, and real. Try to find someone you feel you can click with on an authentic human level; otherwise, it's likely to feel transactional and limiting.
