As a clinician with over 12 years post-graduate experience, I have found the greatest indicator of therapeutic success to be the relationship between the therapist and client. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where we can collaborate together on a treatment plan. While I have extensive experience treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Anger Management, I also have a specifc interest in working with people to adjust to transitions in their lives such as coping with infertility, grief, aging, divorce, chronic illness and parenting concerns.

Hello, I am experienced in helping successfully cope with life's adjustments (including stress and anger management, relationship issues, addiction, grief, and caregiver issues). Life's changes can leave us challenged with feelings of uncertainty, frustration, hopelessness, isolation, and depression. I utilize an eclectic approach (mostly Mindful Cognitive Behavorial) as everyone is different and within the complex individual, moments and experiences are different as well. I strive to work with each individual, with compassion, patience, and dignity, with the goal that they can fully function and live their life to its fullest.

Darien, CT 06820
Would you like to break self-defeating behaviors, and overcome anxiety or anger? If so, I would be happy to assist you with that process. Anxiety: Are you sick of feeling like there is a looming threat? Are you tired of avoiding situations? Do you find yourself ruminating about “what if” scenarios? Anger: Has someone disrespected or hurt you? Do you attack others verbally or physically and ruminate on other people's behavior? Anger is an unhelpful emotion that is usually followed by significant long-term difficulties that can lead to relationship damage, career difficulties, and legal problems.

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.
