I work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, anger and trauma. A lot of individuals struggle to balance both professional and personal life, which can lead to resentment towards self, family, or work. We all need a space to put everything on the table and objectively look at what is getting in the way of feeling fulfilled and accomplished. Most people want to feel successful but due to family, history, self, and/or social definitions are not able to measure up due to an unrealistic idea. We work together to redefine how we see ourselves and the world around us.

My specific treatment areas include treating depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, anger control problems and impulse control disorders.

Stress, anger, depression, and anxiety can really impact your overall functioning and quality of life. Are you facing issues that you need help to work through? Do you have a life goal that you would like to achieve? Is it difficult to adjust to lifestyle changes? I recognize that our problems seldom exist in a bubble and that more often than not they are a direct reflection of our upbringing, past trauma, and/or our environment. Clients often cherish my ability to balance warmth and unconditional positive regard with challenging maladaptive beliefs.

The research tells us that individuals who have experienced traumatic experiences in childhood or adulthood are more likely to experience problems with attachment, depression, anger issues, lack of self-control, and more.
I believe that while nobody can go back and change the past, anyone can make a change and go in a more positive direction. It is never too late to embark on a new path. As your therapist, I will guide and assist you through a healing process that balances your emotional, mental, and spiritual being. My counseling technique is largely cognitive-behavioral, which means that that one's thought patterns contribute to feelings and behaviors, and in changing a person's thought processes, we can make improvements and achieve goals.

Finding a therapist you feel will be a good fit is always a difficult process. I imagine you're going through endless amounts of nearly identical looking pages and google searches in order to find a therapist you feel will you'll have a connection with. It's an incredibly daunting task to search through all the pages and hope you find a therapist that you believe will be non-judgmental and trustworthy. How do you trust that out of all the countless web pages, you can find a therapist who is honest, non-judgmental, and safe for either yourself or someone you care deeply about. Maybe it can be helpful if I share about my background.

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.
