I have experience working with children, teens and adults. I have spent the past few years specializing in working with women. I have experience working with clients who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, chronic stress, substance use/recovery, and grief. I have primarily worked with individuals, but do have some experience working with couples dealing with issues such as communication and relationship stress. I offer both in person therapy sessions and telehealth with options for homework/client success portal for worksheet and information to help between sessions to keep you making progress toward your goals.

I help people who want to feel more calm and connected to themselves and to those they love. I specialize in working with military veterans and adults who grew up in dysfunction and chronic stress. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured - but that is difficult to do when you feel anxious or depressed most of the time. Therapy with me is about giving compassionate attention to yourself and to your relationships. The goal is to create a felt sense of safety and security within yourself and in your relationships so you can adjust from simply enduring life to more fully enjoying life.

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.
