New Castle, DE 19720 (Online Only)
In the course of my career, I have counseled individuals, families and couples struggling with many different issues including depression, communication barriers, conflict resolution, anxiety, anger management, marital issues and grief and loss.
I strongly believe that individuals have the tools and strengths within themselves to conquer and move through any challenge. At times, we may need gentle guidance as well as a safe, welcoming environment in order to uncover those strengths and end unhealthy thinking patterns that leave us stuck. My approach is nurturing yet direct in moments where one needs to feel empowered. I look at therapy as a collaboration where you are the expert and I am here to offer an alternative perspective. Clients have mentioned they feel understood and that core themes have been revealed while working with me.

I know what it's like to feel backed into a corner and how helpful it can be to have that extra support. Finding a therapist can be similar to finding the right school, the right shoes, or the right couch for your new apartment; sometimes it’s a fit right away and other times it’s a process. As someone who has spent time therapist shopping myself, I emphasize the importance of working together to help people find the therapist that fits for them. I work with individuals to create the most comfortable fit in our work together, using a collaborative and holistic approach to therapy and viewing the therapeutic process as a team effort.

Therapy can be an excellent tool to help calm the chaos, and take stock of what is truly important in our lives, and allow ourselves the time to focus on changing our mindset, relational patterns, or life trajectory. It is my desire to help those who are hurting to make significant changes for themselves to better their mood, self-esteem and their relationships with others, both adults and children. Oftentimes life can become too overwhelming and stressful, and we may need some time and assistance to assess our situation, and find new ways to calm and cope.

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.
