Therapy can be either short-term or long-term and it can vary in its purpose for each individual. My practice is a relaxing space for you to achieve whatever it is that you are seeking, be it relief from uncomfortable feelings or a strategy to move on to something that brings more joy. I specialize in working with young adults and adults who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or a mood disorder. In addition, I can assist you in moving through a life transition, such as a divorce or break-up, a job-loss, or becoming a new parent.

It's all too much. The never-ending responsibility to care for others at work and meeting your loved one's needs at home is a heavy weight to bear. As a high achiever, you've always been able to take on life's demands. But lately, you're trying to do it all while feeling completely overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with self-doubt, anxiety, and sometimes even feeling debilitated/frozen. At the end of the day, you're disappointed in yourself for being short with others, going through the motions with no real joy, and realizing that none of your own needs were met. You're mentally exhausted, frustrated, & need help getting off this carousel.

Not accepting new clients
We live in stressful times. I meet with clients every day who seek skills and strategies for managing the pressures of their personal, family, and work lives. Increasingly, I hear from clients asking for support in their efforts to cope with larger scale problems; they worry about COVID, the environment, political and racial polarization, war, the economy, and more. Many clients recognize that symptoms of anxiety, depression, physical ailments and relationship problems are rooted in or worsened by the stress in their lives. Clients often feel overwhelmed or burnt out. They want to feel energized, connected, loving and joyful.

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.
