I create a trusting space and build rapport so that you can have a place to process challenges, which also creates growth. Creating a safe space for my clients also means creating a space of compassion, empathy, understanding, and non-judgment. I value the transformative nature of a strong therapeutic relationship. Sometimes, there are disruptions in life that affect not only the present but the future as well. These disruptions can impact how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we perceive the world in a negative way. I draw from the modalities of CBT, DBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and SandTray Therapy.

Life can be very challenging and we all have ways of coping with these challenges. Some ways of coping are healthy; others, not so much. When life overwhelms us, whether in marriage, family, job, or military career, our coping skills may no longer help us manage and we may look for quick fixes like alcohol or substances. If alcohol or substance use has taken over your life, or if anger and out-of-control emotions are ruling you, you have come to the right place.

Together, let's pull up that weighted anchor of doubt, frustration, anger, and/or hopelessness and set a path headed for peace, emotional wellbeing, and healthier living.
Are you balancing work, school, and home? Struggling with a loss? Overwhelmed with parenting, or navigating a challenging marriage? Maybe anxious about transitioning to college or the workforce? Could you use a “Life Manual” with a "how to" for this moment or the next? Or for a quick fix "turn to Appendix C"? If only it were that simple. Living is full of ups, downs, and upside-downs; twists and turns, backward and forward, and even side-to-side. Right, wrong, or other, we do our personal best in the space we’re in with the skills and information we have. No matter what your situation, help, encouragement, and support is available.

Life can be difficult. The experiences we encounter can shape and mold us unto someone we may no longer recognize, understand misplaced feelings or have an impact on our daily functioning, but we continue to press... We have people relying on us, responsibilities waiting on us while fears and pain hunt us....but we continue to press....We think the feelings, flashbacks, nightmares, anger, hurt or pain will go away not realizing it is trauma. Trauma is simply an event which causes extreme distress and can manifest in different ways for different people. Lets work together to live a healthy life healed from the effects of trauma.

You’re overwhelmed by worry and self-doubt. Feelings of anxiety have intensified, and you do not know how to make it go away. You constantly worry about every little thing. You worry about if you’re doing your job well enough, what others think of you, maybe you should have not said that thing you said yesterday, and it goes on and on. Everyday is a battle of trying to keep it all together, and to do everything perfectly. You experience anxiety attacks from time to time, and you feel like you have no control. Your anxiety sometimes turns into anger, and you lash out on the people you love most. You can't live like this anymore.

Life can become very challenging at any given point and time in our lives. Depression, anxiety, anger/irritability, mood/behavioral changes, abuse of substances and exposure to trauma create fallacies that life will remain unmanageable for children and adults. In my 10+ years of experience, I recognize the strength in talking to someone about your challenges in order to begin the healing process. Are you struggling to manage your child's behavior? Are you struggling to manage your own emotions as an adult? Together we can identify solutions for overcoming trauma, hurts and disappointments which prevents us from moving forward.

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.
