Therapy can be a safe and non-judgmental space for both cultivating reflectiveness and implementing positive changes. Whether you are looking to find relief from specific distressing emotional experiences, work on your relationship with yourself and others in your life, develop better coping skills, or address barriers that block you from living your life fully, I consider it an honor to help you address the struggle and emotional pain which bring you to therapy. Together, we can help you build a life which brings greater fulfillment, meaning, and joy, even in the face of life’s inevitable setbacks, losses, and disappointments.

I have learned the "connection" we make in therapy will lead to fruitful change. We begin by working on very specific concerns, to the more elusive, abstract conflicts of a more esoteric life that aren't so simple to characterize. Everyone comes to therapy with different hopes, unique needs, and a desire to seek what is transformational. I work to create a trusting relationship with all of my patients. In the initial sessions, I focus on what brings you to therapy at this moment in time and to establish a working rapport where you feel safe and listened to, without judgement. Therapy is a unique opportunity to find your voice,

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.
