I have worked with those struggling with addiction, trauma, dual diagnosis, anger management, couples issues, anxiety, depression and other life stressors.
I have assisted many clients in gaining insight into the issues that they are struggling with and healthier options that work for them. No client is the same as the next. We are all unique and take different paths in life and deserve a space to be heard. Clients struggle to connect with emotions, processing and regulating their emotions and struggle with finding positive solutions. Sometimes in life we don't know exactly what we want or which way to turn. I give my clients the space to learn about themselves and grow. I am compassionate, attentive and work with my clients to find the positive attributes in their lives.

Waitlist for new clients
What often compels people to seek therapy is some form of felt loss. It could be as transparent as an unsatisfying relationship or as subtle as lowered self-esteem. It could be a sense that something is missing and an uncertainty as to what that may be. One of the most important relationships in life is the one we foster with ourselves. And frequently, it is the one most ignored. I strive to help people see and understand themselves more clearly as I believe self awareness is an indispensable bridge to healthy change.

Emotional turmoil arises when you lack the assurance and sincerity to pursue a life filled with purposeful endeavors and positive actions. Diminished self-worth, wavering confidence, unhealthy relationship dynamics, dwindling motivation, career setbacks, or persistent anxiety all contribute to a detrimental self-perception and interpersonal interactions, resulting in symptoms that may exacerbate a descent into distress.

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.
