As your therapist I will bring in my experiences of working with families and individuals who have struggled with anger, Depression, Anxiety, substance abuse, family conflicts, and/or traumatic experiences.
I am passionate about working with clients who have the desire to change but find themselves stuck in their "symptoms." Many of my clients get stuck in their head, and can't find the pathway to their heart/feelings. Others are so overwhelmed by their feelings that they can't experience peace. I find that using coping tools can help, but that Healing can take a different road than symptom management. If you want to find answers and experience healing, while also using the tools you've picked up along the way, then I would love to hear from you and see if we might be a good fit for this part of your journey.

These struggles include depression, anxiety, anger, grief, trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, chemical dependency, and codependency.
Reaching out for help is typically not easy to do. It takes courage and bravery to acknowledge your struggles and step outside of the familiar. My overall approach is based on my respect for your bravery in reaching out for help. I provide a respectful, caring, and warm environment that supports a sense of safety. I believe that a key building block of change and healing in therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. Developing and nurturing this relationship can support healing, regardless of the presenting problems or concerns.

As a professional that spent 10 years as a police officer, I understand the difficulties that come with taking the time to care for yourself. Being able to open up and share life events that cause anxiety, depression, restlessness, anger, PTSD, and fear are barriers that are hard to overcome. Building trust and feeling safe are not easy things to do but are necessary for healing emotional wounds suffered by exposure to life's challenges. Holding on to these emotions only breeds conflict in one’s professional and personal 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.
