Whether you’re living with trauma, dealing with depression, struggling with anger, or just searching for something you know is missing, therapy can help.
Now Accepting New Clients - There’s no denying it, sometimes life can be really hard. And in addition to the many things happening outside ourselves, we all tend to get in our own way as well. We all sometimes think, feel, or do things that aren’t consistent with the person we want to be. This is completely normal, but it doesn’t have to be that way, and I’d like to help you make it better.

I offer both individual and relationship healing, particularly in context of trauma recovery, anger management, burnout, and addiction. Usually all of those issues connect and we all can find layers of work to do in each area. I can't promise to fix your relationship or heal all your wounds, but I can offer support, encouragement, and honest feedback about the challenges and opportunities you are facing.

Collaboratively we create customized, innovative, empowering treatments for anger, anxiety, depression, mood, personality, identity, dissociative, delusional sleep disorders, life adjustments, illness, loss, grief, dementia and complex trauma.
Focused on healing through trauma-informed, body-based care and grounded in family systems theory, I draw on a range of counseling approaches including; psychodynamic, transpersonal, existential, expressive, mindfulness, mind-body, behavioral (DBT and CBT). Together we sojourn toward self-awareness and compassion for self. Emblematic moments from the past may have become conditioned responses to the present. We focus both on here and now and historical events. TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), mindfulness, sensorimotor psychotherapy and EMDR-Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing help re-program stored arousal in the body.

I have been a clinician for 30 years and have served people living with addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, anger management and stress issues.
It is a courageous step to consider and begin therapy. Life offers us many joys and successes and along the way, challenges and stresses. We all have periods when the challenges and stresses seem to completely overshadow the joys. In these moments we may feel directionless, stuck in sadness and fear, anxiety and depression, emptiness and shame. No matter how stuck we may feel, there is always a path through.

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.
