My specialties include alcohol and drug addiction, adjustment issues (job, relationship, life in general) anger issues, depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues in both families and couples, and parental issues.
Overwhelmed? Anxious? Irritable? Depressed? Stressing over finances, job, relationships? So many people are struggling but you reached out for help. Taking this first step is the hardest. I would like the opportunity to help ease your discomfort by providing a safe and comfortable environment. No judgement here. Together we would work on the issues you are struggling with. I feel people are more resilient than they feel. I am active in the therapeutic process by providing feedback. Change is always possible. I am no longer working with couples or children.

It is not easy to start therapy treatment. An ideal client is a person that, even through all the fears, doubts and questions, takes the first step to start treatment and gives a chance to explore a new technique to find better balance in their life. There could be setbacks in the process but the most important thing is to stay constant. The client is willing to work in their goals and implement skills learned in every session. Also, to ask questions needed, even if they feel afraid, in order to be able to communicate with their therapist in a honest way.

Sometimes depression and anxiety slow us down, but they do not have to define who we are. Therapy can be challenging and rewarding at the same time. We can have good days and bad days. One of the ideas I lean on regularly in my work with clients is that two things can be true at once. As a masters level mental health counselor with 10 years of experience working with people in a helping profession, I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to unload the things that are troubling them and work on finding solutions.

Imagine a wheel on a vehicle functioning optimally when the wheel is balanced and aligned. Out of balance the ride can be quite bumpy like our lives when increased stress, psychological distress and pain reflect imbalances in our being as we travel chaotically on life's path. Difficult challenges can arise creating obstacles too difficult to navigate alone. Life transitions provide an opportune time to seek support to reevaluate personal goals and direction. My intention is to meet each individual in the moment assisting them to navigate a manageable path on their journey to reach optimum enjoyment and success in life.

Are you finding yourselves falling into the same arguments over and over again? Do you attempt to avoid conflict by walking on eggshells, isolating from each other, or not talking about what needs to be addressed until another “blow-up” happens? Even when you both are in the same space, does it feel like you're miles apart? Are you both feeling lonely, frustrated, and really missing each other? I help couples just like you increase connection, intimacy, and directly communicate with each other about what truly matters.

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.
